Iraq Sans Bullshit
Farnaz Fassihi is a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, currently assigned as their middle-east correspondent, based in Iraq. A few days ago, she sent some friends an email describing the real state of affairs in the country -- no spin, no editorial control, no publisher's censorship, just one unhappy person letting her friends know what she's faced with. The email was forwarded on to a number of colleagues, and from there it escaped into the blogosphere.

I knew it was bad, but ... this makes me want to cry. What a mess.

Did you see Matthew Parris's articles in the Times a couple of months ago making a very similar point?
