Negative Space: Iraq
- Al-Qaeda tea-parties in Iraq?
- Did Saddam Hussein support terrorists? According to the Washington Post, yes. It’s all a matter of how you read their article.
- All omissions are not created equal
- The story of Corporal Jeff Starr’s quote illustrates not only why you can’t trust major newspapers in the United States, but also that you can’t trust some people to understand why we care about misquotes.

- The question about the war in Iraq isn’t how many people died. It’s whether or not we can ever be justified in removing another government that engages in mass murders of its own people.

- World prohibition threatens to turn the Iraq turnaround back towards violence and gang warfare.
- World News Tonight vs. the Sirens of the Internet
