Message to the White House: America wants to know more about the war

Dallas Morning News | Editorials:

"The American public and Congress need greater evidence that the Bush administration and Iraq government are doing the right things to make sure that U.S. forces are not at risk any longer than necessary. It is in the Bush administration's best interests to become more transparent about military and political progress – and setbacks – in Iraq."

If the administration becomes more transparent, the American public is apt to learn that the administration is NOT doing the right things. It's in America's best interest to learn that. It's not in the Bush administration's best interest for America to learn that. Beware a situation where the country's interest and the President's are not aligned.
