Nattering Nabobs of Negativism
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ombudsman Mike King reports:

Jackie Spinner, the Washington Post reporter based in Baghdad, was asked in an online forum last week whether journalists ever see anything positive in Iraq or do they just feed off each other's negativity. Spinner's answer was instructive.

"That's a fair question. I think our coverage reflects the sentiments of the Iraqis themselves. It is hard to feel positive about the future when you are scared that if you leave your house you might get killed.”

So, how do Iraqis feel about the future? According to a new poll of Iraqi public opinion, released by Oxford Research International, 75.1% of Iraqi’s believe their lives are either better or about the same compared to before the war. Fully 64% believe they will be better off a year from now.
