The Undiluted Truth
The press has made two pretty serious mistakes with recent reporting from Iraq. The first is that the press has failed once again to understand the classifications and jargon common in the military and assumed something that simply was not true. You'd think if someone used a term that obviously had a particular meaning you'd ask for a clarification, but then I keep forgetting most journalists are "masters of the language."
Secondly, the press has allowed "the best to become the enemy of the better" Not satisfied with progress, and excellent progress to boot, they seem to want the end point NOW.
Major K fixes both mistakes in a six paragraph post. You would think journalists could handle six measly paragrpahs.
