Since it's the American people who are shedding blood and money for the Iraq War, hiding anything at all about the war from them is both un-American and dangerous. Is Petraeus capable of straight talk?

Petraeus and Crocker continue to portray the Maliki government as combating lawlessness in an effort to unite Iraq under the rule of law. This is a dangerous departure from reality.
