You and me both. I have always liked Pinkerton! The only positive news I read out of Iraq is from Air Force News Service which really disgust me about the media.

I remember Rumsfeld's press conference when they kept asking him if it was a Vietnam quagmire. I thought he was going to clobber them -- wish he would have.

This is nothing like Vietnam and they are doing a disservice to the men and women and their families/friends who are serving by not telling the truth.

I am so mad at Fox right now I had to switch stations. Fair and Balanced has gone out the window recently! They have on McAullife but where is the Rep from RNC? Fox/Gibson cannot tell me that they couldn't get one!

If there's a reliable mainstream press source re. Iraq, I haven't found it...and I've looked. You should hear some comments from the troops! Gen. Myers and SOD Rumsfeld help the younger ones - remind them that the American people are behind them, remind them of what our press was like during the Vietnam war.

These are the sources I check most often...with FR, and enterprising people who care about the truth - here's to the increasing irrelevance of the mainstream newsmedia:
