TWN vs. NYT

Posted by: Jambo / 11:37 AM

Hammer is fond of the "you heard it here first" moment, those times when you read something in the mainstream media that you could have seen earlier in Three Way News. I had one of those today when I saw an article in the NYT with this line:
Even if the insurgents lose 10 men for every 1 they kill, they are still winning, not least because the American side takes its losses so much harder.
We had that same fact, and the very historical context that the author was likely thinking of, in this post last week.

The whole article is worth reading, tho I might have chosen a different headline, and I am in no way implying that the author doesn't have far more insight into the Iraq situation than I do. But still, it is nice to be ahead of the curve once in a while.

I do believe in giving credit where credit is due.
