As a news hound, I can vouch. The only way to stay truly informed is through blogs. This link came via the essayist USS Clueless. His current entry is chock full of food for thought.

And then there's Comedy Central's "Tough Crowd", where Christopher Hitchens was a guest last week and described how well things are going, especially with the Kurds.

Also very illuminating is this BBC web chat with "Baghdad blogger" Salam Pax. The guy is not a good enough writer to give us a sense of how things are going, but when people ask him pointed questions, the answers are much better than one might imagine.
