U.S. Is Said to Pay to Plant Articles in Iraq Papers – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/01/international/middleeast/01cnd-prop.html This kind of news causes me problems. A big part of me is happy to see the US media finally sharpening its claws after a long period of disinterest. Another big part of me wishes items like this would never be reported at all.

One Mother in Crawford – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/09/opinion/09tue1.html This lady (a friend of Stumbler Ameripie, if I’m not mistaken) is gaining a lot of ink for her efforts, and more power to her. The crux of the Iraq problem is not that the US is there – that’s a done deal now – but WHY they are there. Too few citizens are […]
