You can't say that US media are not reporting intelligent stories from Iraq: "The Marine pilot did manage to stay in touch with his family, though, sending a DVD of himself reading Dr. Seuss’s “The Grinch” for his 2 ½-year-old daughter. Thanks to technology, his wife, Teresa, was able to ask the little girl, “Do you want me to read to you tonight, or Daddy?”" For my international readers: this passes as foreign policy coverage in US publications.
