Sore Arm Watch, from the Omaha World-Herald: “U.S. Rep. Tom Osborne, after siding with a two-vote House majority to approve a controversial trade agreement with Central American countries, said Thursday he feared the sugar industry would suffer reprisals if the pact failed. Osborne said he had heard suggestions from Bush administration officials that the industry’s lack of flexibility on trade could hurt it when federal farm programs are rewritten next year.”
