Elladan and Elrohir has just left Hobbiton.
You could say many things about Faramir in TTT, but I wouldn't say he has a lust for power. Even when he utters those dreaded words, "The Ring will go to Gondor," he does not want the Ring for himself. This is made clear later when he tells his second-in-command, "Tell my father, 'Faramir sends a mighty gift.'" The Ring obviously wasn't going to be his own. Faramir takes Frodo to Osgiliath and intends to take him to Minas Tirith, not because he himself desires the Ring, but because he wants to please an unappreciative father.

And yeah, that article is really good.
