Ethanol & the law of unintended consequences
Story
What’s the connection between ethanol, the biofuel produced from corn, and a cherry vanilla ice cream? Answer: the first is responsible for pushing up the price of the other. This month, the price of milk in the United States surged to a near record in part because of the increasing costs of feeding a dairy herd. The corn feed used to feed cattle has almost doubled in price in a year as demand has grown for the grain to produce ethanol. (While studying for my MBA I learned about the “law of unintended consequences” and this is a perfect example)

NYPD FDNY Feud Resulted in 911 Rescue Failure
Story
Rather than reinforce the life-saving potential of rooftop rescues, the police department's daring helicopter operation in 1993 had the opposite effect. After the garage bombing, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the World Trade Center, and the fire department made a deliberate decision not to plan for future helicopter rescues, officials with the two agencies say. Part of the explanation for this decision in the wake of the 1993 blast was an intense feud then raging between the city's fire and police departments over who had control at emergencies. The fire department, which has no helicopters of its own, dismissed the 1993 rooftop rescue as grandstanding. Fire commanders said the mission was dangerous and unnecessary. And they said any future evacuations should be carried out by fire personnel from the ground. At the time Mayor Rudy Giuliani sided with the fire department which ultimately became a horrible decision. Bureaucracy and intergovernmental jealousy at its worst.

The lefts overreaction to Gitmo
Story
Human rights activists, liberal media outlets, and Bush Administration critics have derisively characterized the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as the "gulag of our times," a "legal black hole," and a "stain on our nation's character.

In order to unearth the reality from the layers of hyperbole, half-truths, and outright lies that have been heaped upon Guantanamo Bay, this paper corrects a few of the more persistent misconceptions relating to the situation.
