Letter Of The Day

it was a tough call today, but the winner is...

John Carlson brings us warm stories of Iowans stationed in Iraq. Without denigrating this angle, I would remind the Register that "Iowans in Iraq" isn't exactly what we don't understand about the war. Where we desperately need insight is about what is happening in Iraq. That is what the war is supposed to be about, and that will tell us whether we are achieving our goals. Is civil society actually too dangerous to report?
