The two voices most neglected by the mainstream press - our troops, and the majority of Iraqis - victims of Saddam Hussein's brutal regime....are those paying the highest price in Iraq.
Our free press has room for quotes from Baa'thist enemies, pols, pundits, and special interest war critics - unverified facts and unreliable sources.
They just plain lie - misrepresent our troops, and our war efforts daily - emboldening our enemies by hyping the negative - giving them far more credit than they deserve, while undermining morale, and the reputation of our far mightier, more capable - and honorable military - by ignoring their daily good works, enemies captured and killed at great risk to brave men and women facing and fighting them - thousands of individual victories - acts of valor, and kindness.
Our free press has been pulling this act, endangering our troops, undermining our war efforts, from day one.
The facts (as Rummy might accurately say) are verifiable.
