Fukushima: Lessons learned from a devastating “near-miss”
Before the Fukushima disaster unfolded in 2011, Japanese government and energy company officials were aware of the warning signs and risks of a potential crisis at the reactor site.

The American-made Debacle in Iraq
Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry minces no words when he attacks President George W. Bush about his Iraq policy.
