Please take a minute to check out Michael Totten's latest report from Iraq, "The Head of the Snake". He is traveling through Kurdistan in northern Iraq and reporting back, funded by his audience. We need more people like him, and you need to support him. (Scroll down to the bottom of his page for the tip jar.)
At this point you really need to augment your intake of mainstream media with on-the-ground, independent journalists. Ralph Peters puts it succinctly, in the New York Post:
THE reporting out of Baghdad continues to be hysterical and dishonest. There is no civil war in the streets. None. Period.
Terrorism, yes. Civil war, no. Clear enough? [...]
You are being lied to. By elements in the media determined that Iraq must fail. Just give 'em the Bronx cheer.
