I don't know a lot about xml, but I have this question to ask.

What I would like to do is display any number of these xml feeds.

If you're trying to display it on your site, you'll need to parse out the XML file. I attached a block that I found awhile back that does this for you. Hope this helps.

Err hard project for nuke it seems. Not sure why I can't read that feed. I would like to display it in a module. If anyone else wants to give that a shot, I would be willing to donate for this.

This is a PHPNuke module to specifically parses the news XML file for the site you listed. There are 4500+ entries in that XML file, so I'm grabbing the bottom 15 (15 most current).
