Writing about Afghanistan today, this article in The Sun (every Americans favorite British tabloid) has a pretty powerful picture and a handful of combustive questions and sharp statements for the Whitehall crowd regarding Afghanistan policy. It might be one of the boldest statements in journalism that questions an official government war policy I have seen since 9/11, and probably the strongest use of journalism in terms of questioning war policy since the Falklands.Former President Bush was hit over the head pretty hard several times in the tough 2005-2006 timeframe for Iraq, but I don't recall ever reading anything that gets anywhere close to the tough nature of that article on any major media publication. Keep scrolling, keep reading...
Those are shells, not bullets, and that picture is a powerful image.
