Critiques of media coverage of the War on Terror, and the politics surrounding it.

THE NARRATIVE BEGINS TO GEL
I wrote yesterday that the game now was going to be a debate over the criteria used to evaluate the capture (or, what Will Saletan described as "moving the goal posts.")

Today, on Today, interviewing General Sanchez, Katie Couric asks, "militarily, how much of the enemy's capabilities have been degraded by this capture?" Sanchez answers by talking about the importance of having the ideological and symbolic leader taken off the battlefield. To which she instantly grabs on: "So this is more symbolic" than concrete?

And it's off to the races.
