"In a war that seems more like a quagmire every day," has Filkins ever written an article on Iraq without this sentence? Rather that going through the usual cheesy high school debate routine yet again, I indulged myself in a little literalist research on this one. If you compare query.nytimes.com; , which is uses of the word "quagmire" in the past year in the NYT, and query.nytimes.com , which is all articles by Filkins, you find that not only is the answer to your rhetorical question "yes", but that Filkins seems to have used the q-word exactly once, in a really large number of articles about Iraq. You may now resume your regularly scheduled program of bitching about the NYT and other "objective" word police activities. It's always something, you know.
