McClatchy honors its motto

particularly in light of the pandering headlines generated by other media outlets (see previous post), perhaps mcclatchy takes journalism and its pledge, "truth to power," seriously...

New Iraq plan recalls strategies past
By Nancy A. Youssef | McClatchy Newspapers

The President declared success and said troops were coming home despite a range of government reports that says Iraqi civilian casualties remain high and that Iraqi security forces remain incapable of taking control.

[...]

There was no mention of a range of government reports, from a National Intelligence Estimate to a Government Accountability Office report and even the testimony this week of U.S. Iraq commander Army Gen. David Petraeus, that has said Iraqi civilian casualties remain high and that it will be years before Iraqi security forces can take control.

Other reports have stressed that Iraqis continue to flee their homes looking for safety at unprecedented rates and that Shiite militias continue to force Sunni Muslims from their homes. Baghdad residents complain that their city has become even more segregated than before the surge, divided now by hastily erected concrete walls to keep rival sects separate.

good on mcclatchy...
