errors in the article

A)there never was a "shortage" of IT personell, just a "shortage" of those willing to work for less than minimum wage (See Dr. Matloff's testimony to congress for details)
b)The US educational system is the best in the world, which is why so many people flock from all over the world to participate (again, Dr. Matloff's research is available)
c)offshoring and outsourcing are not examples of "free trade" as defined by 200 year old economists - they are examples of absolute advantage casued by changing market conditions.
(Mr. Roberts article on this is good, but the information can be found by speaking to any competent economist - http://www.mises.org/fullarticle.asp?control=1420&id=64)

Perhaps as a Journalist you might consider writing an article from facts rather than opinions - I realize it takes more effort, but I would imagine you'ld sleep better.
