Back up all action with illustration and explanation. Inform the public--constantly--as to what is happening

Great point. This administration has been terrible at pointing out the many successes in the WOT. The fact is bloggers have had to fill in the void and try to educate the public about what is going on.

I hope Tony Snow sees this as a priority. Why not start each press conference by saying "12 new schools opened in Afghanistan this week" or "145 terrorists were killed/apprehended in Iraq this week"?

Who cares about that. Bush should give a real speech about the actually capabilities the Iraqi Insurgency and Al Qaida have. Then say what we are doing about it. All we get from the media is stupid useless information about attacks and poorly named Operations that seemingly have no affect. Give us some real info on how the WOT is going.

Agree completely - The WH/GOP PR staff need to fight with the same 24/7 intensity they are asking of our warriors in the field -

They have done a piss-poor performance in this regard (too a large degree).
