Not too surprising that Tim Shorrock should end his piece:

> For Asians tired of American hectoring, crony capitalism has a new

But for an editorial writer at the Houston Chronicle?

> The Bush administration is so fond of official secrecy in aid of

> paying the freight have any privileges that entitle them to know
