Fiction of Marjah as City
For weeks, the U.S. public followed the biggest offensive of the Afghanistan War against what it was told was a "city of 80,000 people" as well as the logistical hub of the Taliban in that part of Helmand. That idea was a central element in the overall impression built up in February that Marjah was a major strategic objective, more important than other district centers in Helmand.
It turns out, however, that the picture of Marjah presented by military officials and obediently reported by major news media is one of the clearest and most dramatic pieces of misinformation of the entire war, apparently aimed at hyping the offensive as a historic turning point in the conflict.....go to aticle:Fiction of Marjah as City Was US Misinformation

A Photo to Pass Along
Kelley Beaucar Vlahos, March 02, 2010
A post/picture like this, everyday, might get the point across (though, here, it’s preaching to the choir). But as Mr. Cox suggests, something like this would have to be squeezed onto the boob tube somewhere between segments of “Lost” or after those hilarious “Slap Chop” commercials in order to get the rapt attention of so-called “real America.”
I think it bears passing along. Thank you David Glenn Cox for saying it plain.
