Some Things Will Never Change

Why is the media doing such a bad job in Iraq? Don't take my word for it, don't take our soldier's word for it, take a journalist's word for it:

Think about everything you’ve heard about the conditions in Iraq, the role of U.S. forces, the multi-layered complexities of the war.

Then think again.

I’m a journalist. I read the news everyday, from several sources. I have the luxury of reading stuff newspapers don’t always have room to print. I read every tidbit I could on Iraq and the war before coming.

Everything I thought I knew was wrong.

Maybe not wrong, but certainly different than the picture in my head.

The spirit of Baghdad Bob lives on.
