Iraq - from the Boston Globe
There are problems with being a skeptic.
For example, this article reports what I complain about not being reported.
However, the Globe is owned by the New York Times; and, that makes me suspicious.

For what it might be worth, Jeff Jacoby reports:
"THE NEWS from Iraq has been so encouraging in recent months that last week even the mainstream media finally sat up and took notice. Can the Democratic Party be far behind?
In a story titled 'Baghdad Comes Alive,' Rod Nordland reports in the current Newsweek on the heartening transformation underway in the Iraqi capital:
'Returning to Baghdad after an absence of four months,' he writes, 'I can actually say that things do seem to have gotten better, and in ways that may even be durable . . . There hasn't been a successful suicide car bombing in Baghdad in five weeks . . . Al Qaeda in Iraq is starting to look like a spent force, especially in Baghdad.'
The signs of life, Nordland acknowledges 'grudgingly' - his word - are undeniable."
