Great to see this kind of info reported. When I was in Iraq (18 months there), good news there was ignored by the US/world media and what was reported was (in every case I investigated in 4 provinces) not factual (regardless of the source) — we routinely asked ourselves if there were TWO Iraqs going through a war. My sources in Iraq confirm the report given here and more — Iraq is undoubtedly on the mend.
Part of the problem is that it appears the mission of the press has changed: It used to be merely to report the news. Liked it in the those days. Nowadays, its role seems to be to bring down the President, using either facts or fiction manufactured to fit the story they want to tell.
