EDITOR & PUBISHER - The Washington Post published an opinion piece on
Sunday hailing the success of the "surge" of U.S. troops in Iraq and
harshly criticizing reporters for not doing the same, or at least
covering alleged major advances in that country. It failed to disclose,
however, that the author of the column, Robert Kagan, is the brother of
the man who has been called an architect of the "surge" idea. Robert
Kagan's bio with the Post column reveals that he is a senior associate
at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and that his latest
book is "Dangerous Nation," a history of American foreign policy. It
does not disclose that his brother is Frederick Kagan, a fellow at the
American Enterprise Institute, whose AEI report, "Choosing Victory: A
Plan for Success in Iraq," reportedly had a very strong influence on the
White House in crafting its "surge" idea. . .

PHILIP BRASHER, DES MOINES REGISTER - High corn prices could wipe out
much of the profit in the ethanol industry for years to come, economists
say. Net operating returns for the ethanol industry will drop to 28
cents a gallon this year, down from 61 cents last year, according to a
report prepared for Congress by the University of Missouri's Food and
Agricultural Policy Research Institute. The economists see the operating
margin slipping eventually to 19 cents a gallon by 2012. Plants need to
make about 20 cents a gallon to cover capital costs, so the decline in
margins will discourage construction of plants, said Pat Westhoff, the
institute's program director. "That slows investment dramatically," he
said. But a lot depends on the price of oil, Westhoff said.
