re: And they probably were soft-peddling the real situation because it is so at variance with what we have been officially fed.

Maybe... but they talked about the Iraq government torturing Sunni's, and how that would have to stop to have an effective democratic central government (any real chance of that?). They talked about the militias being much stronger than the Iraqi army/police, and how do you have an effective democratic central government with sectarian militias running amok. They talked briefly about this past election, and if one guy ends up winning (didn't catch the name) then all might be lost as he is a hard line Shite with ties to Iran... and how if an Iranian style government gets written into the revised constitution over the coming months all was lost.

It was a huge contrast to Bush's Pollyanna propaganda. If things break really bad in Iraq (in my opinion when) then a lot of people who have listened to Bush are going to be shocked.
