Under reported stories

I'm working for the next four days but I have a couple of posts worth reading at the Detroit News on some items that slipped through the radar relatively unnoticed lately.

Injured soldiers are the new collateral damage in war on terror budgeting. The quote from the Senate spokesperson is enough to make you spit in disgust.

This one was way under the radar. Bush and Cheney pressure Alaska legislature to take a tax deal on oil companies that a third world country would sneer at and would reap billions in breaks for the oilmen.

And I have some remarks for the rightwingnuts who want to paint the Connecticut primary as a death knell for Democrats. I tell them why Lieberman's loss is America's gain.
