The "whole story" is never reported. Not even when the republicans think it is.

What does seem to be clear is that the negative articles were correct, and whatever positives were going on, they probably will not assure Iraq the kind of future Bush dreamed of when he took us in to this optional war. It begins to look like Iraqis will be less free (if religious law comes to Iraq) and much less safe (if we end up with civil war, or partition).

So while many warm and fuzzy events may have been overlooked, in the end it won't matter if the country falls in to violence and chaos. Giving Americans the warm fuzzies really isn't important, in the grand scheme of history. But Iraq in pieces will be- so in that sense, the media probably had a better handle on the story than those folks who have been clinging to warm fuzzies for two years.
