"How would Iraq appear if we saw it through not the reporting of Western journalists, but the candid testimony of Iraqis themselves?"

Let's take the neocons darling, Chalabi. He was the oracle for a long, long time, the authority on how Iraq REALLY was.

"After (Gen. Jay Garner) finishes his job of restoring basic services, the interim Iraqi authority will be established. And that interim authority will be an authority of Iraqis, chosen by Iraqis. And it will be able to function as an authority in the country immediately after Gen. Garner's job is finished, which should be only a few weeks."

It goes on, and it gets worse. Virtually none of your Pollyanna-ish stuff paints the picture of Iraq, and you keep dragging out one after another after another of these shills.

And acting is they are oracles, until the next one comes. Remember Allawi and Congress?

Flat out lies.
