...admit that he might have made a mistake. Just over a year ago, the 27-year-old sales executive thought he could make a better living trading stocks listed on the Shanghai bourse full-time.

...Howard in the past but not at the last election of 2004, and he won't be this time. While most politicians are loose with the truth, Peter says, Howard's dishonesty extends to matters of "war and killing [in Iraq] and that I can't accept. He's done some good things, but he's got away with too much for too long...
