Agenda Driven Journalism of the Day Op-For By John Here's a quick and easy lesson on how to make good news in Iraq seem like bad news. today.reuters.com UN Says Iraq Deadlier, Italians Pull Out "BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Italian forces ended their mission in Iraq on Thursday, handing over the southern province they patrol to Iraqis, while the United Nations said the country has become deadlier than ever." The Italian mission in southern Iraq has been a real success story, yet the Reuters lead was deliberately calculated make it appear as they are retreating from an unwinnable fight. What the UN says about Iraq is completely irrelevant to the Italian withdrawal, which has been planned for some time now. It has everything to do with the Italians successfully managing the sector, to the point where Iraqi troops can comfortably handle the security load on their own. How incredibly slimy. Ends justify the means. Reuters doesn't mind making a steadfast ally look like a failure and a coward, so long as it satisfies their political narrative.
