Newsweek

'Mission Accomplished' deja vu

For some reason I've started receiving Newsweek in the mail. No wonder the industry is facing tough times if this is how they handle their subscription base, because I'm sure I'm not paying for it.

Nonetheless, I was shocked at the cover this week which proclaims "Victory at Last: the Emergence of a Democratic Iraq" with a photo of Bush and his infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner in the background.

I had just returned to the States from my sixth trip to Iraq where I expected to film a preview of the elections for an episode of my show Fault Lines, but instead found a civil war in the making.
