Radio talk show hostess, Laura Ingraham, has spent the last week broadcasting from Iraq. You can read about her experiences and observations in her Iraq Journal. Not surprisingly, she has some differences with Christiane Amanpour's views on how things are going. Here's a sample:
This has been an exhausting day- emotionally and physically. But then again, it's that way for the troops pretty much every day here. Bottom line: Iraq is a complicated, difficult, hard-to-understand place. But we need to make this work. There is hope and success amidst the sadness and suffering here. I smile when I remember the 34 year-old Iraqi businesswoman who ditched her car and took four busses to get to our interview to avoid being noticed by the terrorists. She owns her own engineering company with 14 employees and urged the American people not to leave Iraq . "Please help us defeat these men," she said.
Of course, that's because Ingraham is a nakedly partisan commentator, merely regurgitating Bush administration talking points while Amanpour is a detached, completely objective journalist whose only interest is revealing the truth, right?
