2. The guy who made it is Michael Ware

whose reporting from Iraq has been phenomenal...and HONEST

[Tin Man]

3. Michael Ware was the first journalist to report how fucked-up Iraq

...had become. I remember Ware's reporting on the insurgency, long before Falluja, back when Rummy et al stilled refered to them as "dead enders" and/or "foreign jihadis" etc... At the time, Ware said the insurgency was well organized, home grown, and significantly larger/deeper than was being reported by the Administration and their Corporate Media whore.

Michael Ware has demonstrated that he understands Iraq and the insurgency. I expect tonight's Frontline will be a bit like looking into a crystal ball.

8. He was the one that slammed Lieberman:

Time Magazine Baghdad bureau chief Michael Ware showed the absurdity of Liberman's comments when he said:

"I and some other journalists had lunch with Senator Joe Lieberman the other day and we listened to him talking about Iraq. Either Senator Lieberman is so divorced from reality that he's completely lost the plot or he knows he's spinning a line. Because one of my colleagues turned to me in the middle of this lunch and said he's not talking about any country I've ever been to and yet he was talking about Iraq, the very country where we were sitting."
