Walk Away from the Lies: A Recommendation to General Petraeus from a Foreign Service Officer

Dear General Petraeus,

In the coming week you will be briefing Congress and the nation regarding the situation in Iraq, specifically on the so-called "surge."

You will be providing statistics and other data to show the accomplishments of your counterinsurgency measures. Your report will doubtless repeat what you wrote three years ago in the Washington Post (September 25, 2004): "Now ... 18 months after entering Iraq, I see tangible progress."
