#1 The only problem is - almost NOBODY (save those of us who spend way too much time both at home and at work haunting the blogosphere) will read this article, or the many similar articles, op-eds, etc. written by Iraq veterans trying to be heard over the 24/7 roar of the fifth-column major media. The only media outlets where I've seen any positive - or at least not uniformly negative - coverage of the war have been on the Web sites of small-town newspapers. Damn near any major-market paper or TV station? It's "All Abu Ghraib, All The Time".

#2 Michelle Malkin covered this, too - and headlined her entry "DON'T BELIEVE THE WASHINGTON POST".

#3 I used the link at the previous article(newsweek)it ended-up going to the post.But it still holds true.
"What the hell is this crap!
Is this news reporting or an opinion piece?
Has your reporter bothered to talk to the troops on the ground?
Have you bothered to talk to a broad spectrum of Iraqi's?
My reading of Iraqi,and Troopers blog sites paint a far different picture.
Tell this hack you have working for you to stop reporting only what supports his personal opinion.This butt-head needs to put down the Scotch,get off his bar stool,and walk out the front door of the Palistine Hotel."
