Torture and execution is done in the South by Australian
special services, who have no one embedded with them, and in
the North the CIA ask the Kurds to the interrogation. However
the issues in dispute are who is winning, to what extent
coalition action is restrained by their efforts to minimize
civilian casualties, and to what extent the locals welcome the
coalition troops when they are confident that Saddam's party
apparatus has fled or been arrested. On these matters, the
matters in dispute, the US press must be more or less telling
the truth, spinning it but not totally lying.
