The Straw Man
Juan Cole has a theory, according to Billmon, that just about everyone in Iraq has an interest in greatly-exaggerating the threat of Al Qaeda in Iraq. It's an interesting thing to speculate about. The truth in Iraq, as in any war, is hard to come by, and Americans seem to be getting less curious, not more, about that bloody bazaar of lies and death. Same as Vietnam, as I recall!
