BRIEF, ONCE AGAIN

Folks, the brevity of today's input is once again a reflection of a shift in the news coverage regarding this war. Reports from inside Iraq have been on a decline for months now. It is becoming more difficult to uncover those stories that reach beyond the mere "scorekeeping" of deaths and injuries in Iraq. It seems beyond those stories the next most populous category are those that disproportionately focus on the insurgency.

Of course, at least I have this much. I can't imagine how sparse the coverage is for those trying to follow their loved ones still in Afghanistan.

But...so long as CPT Patti is there, I'll keep digging for all of us.
