more news from the our new state of Iraq...other than the 3 new deaths in 2 days over there... Subject: A very detailed report on Iraq If any of us are continuing to educate ourselves on developments in Iraq, the following report is fundamental. This is a Dept. of Defense / Rumsfeld-sponsored assessment that was found on the web by one of the US scholars with whom I traveled to Iraq last January. Note: It is very very current -- July 17th. As he says, even considering the sponsors, it is a fairly damning, and not very encouraging, report -- especially when we read between and behind the lines. Remember, this is DOD / Rummy-sponsored fact-finding. It took some doing but here is the report on Iraq of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Given the funder, Dept of Defense, and the initiators, Rumsfeld and Bremer, the report still represents a pretty damning indictment. csis.org CC
