In a world where the obvious is treated as treason

This, apparently, is no longer worthy of being news:

In between panels, I ran into Colin Powell and asked him if we are ever going to get out of Iraq. "We are," he told me, "but we're not going to leave behind anything we like because we are in the middle of a civil war." Powell and Jack Murtha both talking about civil war in Iraq -- shouldn't that be headline news?

Which is why I say, please, please, please, go read Billmon.
