Shocking Memo from U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Details Increasing Danger and Hardship

Looks to me like Bush has been lying to us again. (with memo)---

NEW YORK The Washington Post has obtained a cable, marked "sensitive," that it says show that just before President Bush left on a surprise trip last Monday to the Green Zone in Baghdad for an upbeat assessment of the situation there, "the U.S. Embassy in Iraq painted a starkly different portrait of increasing danger and hardship faced by its Iraqi employees." This cable outlines, the Post reported Sunday, "the daily-worsening conditions for those who live outside the heavily guarded international zone: harassment, threats and the employees' constant fears that their neighbors will discover they work for the U.S. government."

(...)

--The cable concludes that employees' "personal fears are reinforcing divisive sectarian or ethnic channels, despite talk of reconciliation by officials." The final line is: KHALILZAD

I challenge anyone who after reading the memo says we are doing the right thing remaining in Iraq.
