Great piece of reporting and analysis on Iraq by Patrick Cockburn — not the kind of thing the so-called big boys (NY Times, Washington Post) tend to run.
Eric Alterman describes Cockburn this way:
The Middle Eastern correspondent for the British newspaper The Independent, he’s been on the spot from the moment when, in February 2003, he secretly crossed the Tigris River into Iraq just before the Bush administration launched its invasion. Often, he’s to be found in the most dangerous place around, completely
unembedded, ready to record the unraveling of Iraq under the pressure of American invasion and occupation.
Gives you a real sense of this mission’s inevitable failure.
