If journalists knew anything about...anything, they might be able to put certain trends together to see how well our counterinsurgency is faring. A few things they might notice, such as the inability of the insurgents from stopping the Iraqi Government from continuing to build its military. Or a change of leadership among Al-Qaeda. Or that the numerous reports of "red-on-red" infighting is a result of a determined campaign, and not merely a cascade of confused bloodletting.
For all of these tidbits, look here. I find the Anbar tribes' campaign especially interesting, as it leads me to believe that the Iraqis have found their Los Pepes after all.
