Eric, this compilation is a great resource site - thanks!
2 - Eric Olsen

3 - Mike Kole

everyone has an angle, including Allawi, but that is not an unresonable question

This is, in fact, a wonderful source for issues, personalities and the important things we need to consider at this time. It has been wonderfully put together and should serve as a model for the future.
