As long as the bad guys are privy to the effects of casualty numbers used to promote campaigns by Americans hoping to withdraw troops from Iraq (no matter the strategic cost), the insurgency will continue. Bleak, unbalanced stories in American newspapers breathe life into the insurgency. The bad guys know this. So should we. -W. Thomas Smith Jr.

I understand solemnity in the face of the ravages of war. But I condemn those who go out of their way (whatever that may mean) to give only the bad news - they are giving aid and confort to the enemy. The balanced information should be available to the average person.

By the way, whatever happened to newspaper Sunday supplements with feel-good stories about good things being accomplished overseas? Even the traditionally liberal-leaning features (e.g. Peace Corps type stuff) are gone.
