Linky may not work after a day or two, but here is someone who basically says the Iraqi exiles people are talking to are not telling people the truth of how people in Iraq will react to an invasion and that Iraqis who are "bought and paid for" by the U.S. will never be trusted at home in Iraq.

This is from Minnesota Public Radio ... I know some of you hate NPR...

About 10 min. into he's said one thing with which I agree and that's the administration has not shown respect for the social culture of the Iraqi population. Not understanding how even the short-lived raising of a U.S. flag in Umm Qasr affected the mindset of Iraqis. He's now more content, though, with Bush's remarks today about a plan to rebuild/govern Iraq once Saddam is removed from power.
