My NPR favorite Anne Garrels is back in Iraq and this time, has chosen to seek out the most unfortunate Iraqis to interview; those most unfairly impacted by the war. Those who, through no fault of their own, now find themselves shut out of the post-war process.

Yes, I'm talking about senior Baathist generals, of course!

Even by Anne's standards, this is fairly pathetic tripe. Not once in the four-minute segment interviewing five senior officers in Saddam's military was there any hint whatsoever that maybe, just maybe, these guys might not actually be angels.

No matter. Everyone is a victim of the U.S. to Anne The-High-Point-Was-Realizing- The-U.S.-Was-Screwing-Up Garrels, and it is that victimhood that defines them. Certainly not any of their, you know, actions...
