Bob, the security situation in Iraq is SO BAD, the press can't even leave the Green Zone without being embedded in a convoy. This situation has gotten worse, not better, and isn't improving. Iraq is the deadliest conflict for reporters EVER, on a proportional basis. Much of the press has just left, until, or if, the situation improves. rsf.org So, if you wonder why all the "good news" isn't being reported from Iraq, it's no conspiracy - there just isn't much there to trump the all the bad news.

I guess they help show the point that the press has done absolutely nothing to connect people to the war. I'm surprised. I would have thought those were exactly the kind of stories that you were looking for. The press can't even relate to the reason we are in Iraq. I think there's a lot of confusion about that. They steal information from the government and shamelessly expose cia agents. They turn around and blame their informants for the information they exposed. Steal? I've never heard anyone claim that Bob Novak stole anything. jttmab
