On the Michael Hiltzik affair from Independent Sources. He points out that the LA Times management didn't quite understand what the real issue was, something many others have noted (including Blue Crab Boulevard). However, he fails to note the contribution we made to the Hiltzik case with our cutting-edge, Pulitzer material photography.

For al-Qaeda. So says Strategy Page, echoing what we here at Blue Crab Boulevard noted before. The curious timing of the three messages last week, in which binLaden and Zawahri focused outside Iraq while Zarqawi sounded almost desperate to rally troops to him make al-Qaeda leadership look like it is in disarray.
Strategy Page attribute the collapse on three things:
In trying to defeat the United States, al Qaeda made three big mistakes: They fought the last information war, they underestimated the American leadership, and they also managed to anger the Iraqi people.
We must not let the media snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as they did in Vietnam.
