[Just mythoughts]

"There are surely still rpoblems with these Iraqi police, but there has been real progress in some units of the Iraqi army; some Iraqi units have performed very well in coordination with American and British forces in the cleanup south of Baghdad. (See the article in the current National Review Online.)"

I do not disagree. However, when the NYTimes produces only the "news fit to print" and it is always negative about anything Iraq, would be nice if the opening statement were actually attributable to actual word officially spoken, rather than the authors interpretation of what the point of the article really is.

But this article will show up in hundreds of local newspapers....
