Among the items crossing my desk/monitor in the last 24 hours:
- Newsweek tells us It’s Worse Than You Think.
- The New York Times confirms, reporting that a late July National Intelligence Estimate “spells out a dark assessment of prospects for Iraq.”
- Meanwhile, The Guardian has a Sidney Blumenthal column to the effect that many senior US military officers believe Iraq has turned into a disaster on an unprecedented scale. (Via Cursor).
Hmmm, why does that word accountability keep coming to mind? (And could it be that Kerry is finally catching on?)
UPDATE: Inter Press Service News Agency summarizes the recent news from Iraq in From Bad to Worse in Iraq. (Also via Cursor).
