This is some sort of unsigned Op-Ed.

I mean, look here:

Bush, Hu find no breakthroughs
Thu Apr 20, 2006 6:16pm ET13

By Steve Holland and Tabassum Zakaria

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush failed to win a
commitment from Chinese President Hu Jintao on Thursday on immediate
steps to reduce China's $202 billion trade surplus with the United States.

Hu did give Bush a general assurance he was working to make the Chinese
currency more "flexible" but this fell far short of U.S. demands for a
dramatic revaluation of the yuan as a way to make U.S. products more
competitive in Chinese and global markets and reduce the trade imbalance.

So, which ones news, and which ones... commentary? ...and by whom?

The people that advise the Bush administration on Energy policy have
linkage to PNAC.
The last thing they have in mind is any sort of "compromise solution".
We're talking about an energy policy that is, in the BEST case,
hypercompetitive. Worst case... Iraq comes to mind.

No, no... nothing constructive will become of it.
