#2 Thanks, Mike. But I think you left out a good part -

Yes, you miserable souls{of the press}: keep writing in that passive tense, that Fighting rages dodge. Never mind that Maliki and the Iraqi Army are actively picking a fight with the outlaws, a fight that the government is winning, and thats the reason why the bullets are whooshing by.

And tales get unspooled. And narratives implode.
