###### NYTimes Chief Iraq Reporter Comes Out Clean With Truth - 'American Troops Were Greeted as Liberators', Shocking Russert! On U.S. Military -> "They are Magnificent. They are Extremely Brave, that goes without saying. They make an Enormous Effort to Perform a Civic as well as Military Duty in Iraq. They are People of Honor, and they are People of whom America Can be Proud. I Hope that that finds its way into the columns of the NYTimes." And then this: War in Iraq much more frightening to watch on television than I find it when I'm there! (Foot Note: NYTimes just transferred him to it's London Bureau from Iraq.):-(
###### NBC & it's "military analyst" Arkin -> Retired Col. Ken Allard (NBC's military analyst) comes out against Arkin & NBC.

Following Bill Sammon, Rowan Scarborough leaves Washington Times to join Washington Examiner as national security correspondent. Bill Frist blogs @ FoxNews.com.

Hoyer says the dems are backing off their promise to allow the Pubbies to offer alternates to the resolution the dems will prepose.
Boehner is giving the big picture of failure in Iraq. Says the terrorists will follow us here. Victory is our only option.
I note the move of Rowan Scarborough with interest. I need to check on that Washington Examiner...they obviously value good reporting, since they hired Bill Sammon.
Thanks for the great nuggets Anita, and especially the last sentence which gave me a hearty chuckle this morning! :-)
Great Nuggest, as usual, anita. Thanks
I'm especially encouraged by the indicators of some backlash inside the DBM against the grotesque excesses this week.
I'm going to write to the NY Times praising Burns, NBC praising Allard (with yet another complaint about Arkin) and to the AP and LA Times praising them for their courage in exposing Dingy Harry.
We have to be as effusive with our praise when they do right as with our criticism when they do wrong. In fact, since they do wrong and we therefore criticize them far more often than they do right, we should be especially strong in our praise when it is warranted.
