And, may we present.... War a la Cheney (I mean Bush)

More than two dozen House members and senators have used the August recess to travel to Iraq in the hope of getting a firsthand view of the war.

Brief, choreographed and carefully controlled, the codels (short for congressional delegations) often have showed only what the Pentagon and the Bush administration have wanted the lawmakers to see. At one point, as Moran, Tauscher and Rep. Jon Porter (R-Nev.) were heading to lunch in the fortified Green Zone, an American urgently tried to get their attention, apparently to voice concerns about the war effort, the participants said. Security whisked the man away before he could make his point.

Oh yeah, and read the part about how the soldiers receive "background info" on each of the congressfolks' comments about the war.

From the Washington Post. (They're the conservative paper, right?)
