about the lack of journalists (I presume, American and international journalists) in Al Anbar: Ever since we started to have some success in Al Anbar, most journalists have been as hard to find around here as a cold beer. I have a conspiracy theory about this, the details of which I will not burden you. Suffice to say, I think that many of them have already decided that we lost in Iraq and they do not want to confuse themselves with the contrary facts. As a result, the American public perception of Iraq is frozen in 2006, when walking around as I did today in Haditha (see above) would have been deadly for all involved. Most of the media doesn’t know sh*t about Iraq today, but that doesn’t stop their pontification.
