I'm suspicious of any point of view that claims to be "The Real" anything. It's always valuable to see alternative perspectives, but every point of view has an agenda, every "truth" is subjective, and there are more than two sides to every story. The events of, say, Abu Ghraib, don't negate the positive changes that are happening in other areas of Iraq; the positive changes shouldn't overshadow the abuses and fuck-ups that are occurring. It's a complex picture and I appreciate seeing another side of it, but I think I'll continue to take everything I read or see with a few grains of salt.
