The report mentioned in yesterday's post is finally on the front-page somewhere :

.

The ugly truth about everyday life in Baghdad (by the US ambassador)
CONFIDENTIAL MEMO FROM: US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, Baghdad

TO: Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State

SUBJECT: SNAPSHOTS FROM THE OFFICE

SENSITIVE

-

Considering this is what Media Matter had to say about it: Media ignore memo from U.S. Embassy ...at least one front-page so far is a blessing..even if it's not Stateside.

-

To be fair, the report was mentioned in editorials yesterday:

Who is Bush kidding?

"I've just returned from Baghdad," President Bush informed journalists in the Rose Garden of the White House last week "... and I was inspired to be able to visit the capital of a free and democratic Iraq." Guardian

The memo was sent just before this surprise propaganda trip to Iraq...
