A Surge of Facts

This sounds promising, from the Weekly Standard and White House Press Sec. Tony Snow:

Snow spoke about the new audio/visual features of the revamped
White House briefing room. He plans to take full advantage of the new features
to give the American people 'a surge of facts.' He explained that
representatives and senators aren't shifting stances on Iraq in a vacuum;
they're responding to what they hear from their constituents. And all the
American people see, Snow said, is imagery of carnage and death in Iraq. In the
face of what's presented to them, Snow indicated surprise that anyone supports
the effort.
The surge of facts will give a "fuller, richer, more nuanced and
accurate picture" of what is going on in Iraq today. New data on progress in
Iraq will be made easily available; it will be properly sourced; and, it will be
done with visuals that make it more accessible. Snow plans to show video and
slides with hard data as part of the online feed. There will be no spin, just
the facts--good and bad.

This is soooo- welcome and soooo- late. But not too late, I think. Here's more from the Standard on finding a better way to communicate the war. I believe the way the war has been fought is not near so bad as the way its been revealed to the public. We've let the normally sceptical and liberal dominated Mainstream Media frame the debate, while on the ground our troops see a totally different reality. If there is anything disastrous about the Conflict in Iraq, it has been the reporting.
