Haven't heard much about that airport "Highway of Death" lately, have you?
That's because for almost a year now it has been wide open, with commerce
flowing on a daily basis. Likewise, the main highways from Baghdad to
Kirkuk and Baghdad to Amman. But of course, you won't hear much about this
on the nightly news or in the Times or Post, for the simple reason that such
news won't hurt Bush. But these are facts, and facts are immutable. The
people know what's going on.
