it turns out--surprise, surprise--the director of materiel for the Army staff Colonel Thomas Spoehr believes that reporter Michael Moss of the ny times twisted the story.
Spoehr told Moss all the things he told me, but there is not a single positive quote in his story.apparently positive quotes weren't part of the "all the news that's fit to print"
"You would get the impression that our soldiers were in harm's way or at risk," Spoehr said. "That is not true."
Americans are becoming increasingly pessimistic about the war in Iraq, because all news about Iraq is presented as bad news, even when it isn't.
