[EX Q]: (CNN) -- A timid judge is a lawless judge. U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman, it would seem, is not a timid judge. In deciding to lift the Department of the Interior's six-month moratorium on deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Feldman certainly looks like a decisive jurist. His criticisms of the department's ban were forceful. But Feldman was remarkably selective in his criticism. He was willing to scrutinize the government harshly, but not the oil industry. His opinion made important points about the department's mistakes. He noted that the moratorium affects drilling in water deeper than 500 feet, even though a scientific panel that the department commissioned expressed concern with wells in water deeper than 1,000 feet.Jeffrey Rachlinski says judge is willing to scrutinize terms of ban, but not oil industry so muchJudge says BP spill doesn't presage others; but companies still lack sound disaster plansOil companies' suit shows they'd like to keep drilling as though nothing has happened, he saysRachlinski: Ban would force oil companies to come up with plan to prevent future disasters 
 Question:Deepwater drilling is and will remain a valuable part of _'s energy supply.

[EX Q]: (CNN) -- Without firing a shot, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has achieved remarkable results in his efforts to counter Iran's nuclear program. In little more than a year, the prime minister has managed to move the Iran nuclear issue to the top of the international agenda, to toughen sanctions, and in an extraordinary move, to push U.S. President Barack Obama to strengthen American policy so that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons became the focus, rather than just containing Iran and its nuclear program. Indeed, if you throw in Republican challenger Mitt Romney's unwillingness to accept Iran even having the capacity to produce a nuke, Netanyahu's record is even better.Aaron Miller: Israeli PM Netanyahu has scored some victories on Iran nuclear programBut he says Netanyahu's new emphasis on drawing a red line is counterproductiveIsraeli politicians are crying wolf, threatening an attack that isn't happening, Miller saysMiller: Injecting the issue into U.S. election campaign further alienates President Obama 
 Question:This might actually create a greater sense of confidence that Netanyahu was giving the Americans the benefit of the doubt and build up some currency in the bank which Israel will need if in fact it does decide it must go it alone against _ in the spring.
[EX A]: Iran
