A few loose ends at the end of a long day:
+ The Myth of AQI is an absolute must read. Andrew Tilghman was an Iraq correspondent for the Stars and Stripes newspaper in 2005 and 2006, so there can be no charges of "liberal media bias" here. If you really want to understand why the surge is so deeply misguided, you really must go read this article.
+ If you really want to understand why the myth of Rudy is really a load of crap, you need to watch this:
+ Via Andrew Sullivan comes news of a new Pew survey on Iraq. It's amazing - there really is a wisdom in crowds.
+ Or not, depending.
+ Craig is out. Then he's in. Then he's out again. Sort of. I realize that being conflicted is this guy's MO, but c'mon...
