Just one point of view

Each such letter or article posted gives only part of the picture in Iraq. Even the one Lindy posted, however negatively biased the author was, is a valid addition to the overall view.

My objection has been that until recently, the positive part of the picture has been mostly covered over, and only news like Lindy's article has made it to the mainstream press.

re: Bad news gets press, Tom -- always

It's a main selling point, and likely a good reason for the state of the planet today.

The good news makes it in as well -- if it fits in the database. It may not be front page center, but our noble media reps do indeed include "all" the good with the bad -- somewhere...

Maybe that helps clear up what I was typing about,
