Out of The Mouths Of Babes

Jim Angle, covering for Hume, just interviewed three wounded veterans who he probed for “good news” about Iraq that made their sacrifice worthwhile. One of them was a public affairs specialist who dutifully delivered the GOP boilerplate about schools and soccer games. But one of the guys, a very young kid grievously wounded, didn’t know the script. He said:

Angle: You’ve seen some of the media coverage since you got back. Does it accurately reflect what you saw when you were there?

Cpl Diaz: Well, in my case I was out west in the Anbar province and the media kind of, kind of goes for major things that happen in Bagdad or Falluja during voting times and the media doesn’t cover that IED’s go off every day, numerous times.

I don’t think that’s exactly what Angle was looking for.
