more Iraq books
by Warren
The New York Sun (yeah, I’ve never heard of it either) has reviews of a few more books about Iraq. One of the most intriguing is “How America Lost Iraq,” written by a young reporter for the Pacifica network. Pacifica is a left-leaning group of radio stations in the States, and apparently they had just as much of an agenda as Fox News does, since they sent the author to Baghdad to specifically find screw-ups and bad behaviour on the part of the Americans. They were a little cheesed off with him when he actually found (initially, anyway, this was in 2003) fairly broad support from the Iraqis for their occupiers. Just goes to show that not just conservatives can be ethically challenged.
