Iraqis Say Report Offers Little Hope

"The absence of an Iraqi representative on the panel is a shortcoming."

Cautious words conceal the true savagery of life in Iraq

The cautious words of the Baker-Hamilton report stand in sharp contrast to the savagery and terror that dominate everyday life in Baghdad. Many of the terrible disasters it fears may occur in future are in fact already happening.
