Secret doings in Iraq

The Mudville Gazette has an interesting story on work that goes on outside the prying eyes of the press. Here’s an excerpt, but I recommend you read the whole post.

Bloody days are in store. These elections will be like nothing before witnessed. In most areas of the country, all will be well, but elsewhere a shredded remnant of the anti-Iraqi forces will make their presence known. Their efforts are nearly impotent; on a recent day, five separate car bomb attacks failed to reach their intended targets. Yet even as their failures mount, even as their ranks are diminished and their slaughterhouses are shut down they know one thing that brings them a glimmer of hope: their allies in the world media will not let them down. Whether simply to sell papers lure advertisers or to support a cause they firmly believe in, many in the media are the insurgent’s final hope.

Lines are drawn. On one side, the people of Iraq, the majority of Americans, the freedom loving people of the world. On another are those who would behead them all in the street. A better-defined definition of good vs. evil has not been seen in modern times. The final days approach.
