 BBC News | EUROPE | Air strike cripples French flights

 CNN.com - Air France strike rumbles on - September 8, 2002
Pilots say Air France has posted comparatively robust financial results, outperforming many of its peers by shifting capacity towards routes less affected by the September 11 attacks and snapping up the clients of failed airlines Sabena and Swissair.
In its 2001/2002 fiscal year, which ended in March, Air France was the only major European airline to report a profit, posting net earnings of 153 million euros ($152 million).
Analysts say the strikes, if they persist, could threaten the success of that sale by sapping interest in the airline among professional and retail investors.

 Target Iran - Air Strike Uncertainties
One major uncertainty concerning the probability of disarming preventive strike against Iran's nuclear infrastructure is the question of American and Israeli assessments of their confidence in their assessments of the completeness of their understanding of Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
It will be recalled that when the US contemplated striking China's nuclear infrastructure in mid-1964, prior to China's first nuclear test, their were doubts about the completeness of US intelligence.
Iran may have assumed that the US and Israel would lack the political resolve to strike at even a highly visible program, and that some combination of diplomatic pressure from Europe and the fear of Iranian retaliation would stay the hands of the Americans and Israelis.

 EPA plan would give political officials more say over air-quality standards | By Amanda Griscom Little | Grist | ...
Bill Wehrum and George Gray, EPA's highest-ranking air and science officials, respectively, issued recommendations that some enviros and agency staffers fear could curtail the involvement of scientists and boost the role of political figures in the process of setting national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants.
These standards must be updated every five years under the Clean Air Act, and for nearly three decades the process has been driven largely by EPA scientists and a Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee made up of experts from outside the agency.
In February, President Bush nominated Wehrum to be assistant EPA administrator for air and radiation, a position he has held in an interim capacity for about eight months.
