• June 28 -- In Iraq, "Resistance" vs. U.S. Soldiers and "Collaborators"

• June 21 -- US in Iraq Like Soviets in Afghanistan?
Distortions old and new from reporter Edward Wong in his latest from Baghdad. First he compares the U.S. liberation of Iraq to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, then wrongly claims Bush pressed for war by citing a working relationship between Hussein and Al Qaeda.

In the middle of Edward Wong's story from Baghdad about the insistence by some groups that Saddam Hussein be charged with a crime, he takes a detour to Florida to critique a Dick Cheney speech.

• June 9 -- News Flash: More Violence to Come in Iraq
Baghdad-based Edward Wong offers yet another gloomy promise of more violence to come: "With summerlike heat settling in and American officials predicting that violence will almost certainly increase before the full empowerment of the country's interim government on June 30…." Also "Italy Rejoices at News." But what news?

"Iraqi officials, seen by some Iraqis as puppets of foreign governments, will almost certainly continue to be the targets of assassination attempts after that date." -- From a May 28 report from Baghdad by Edward Wong and Christine Hauser.

• April 22 -- US Troops "Might-Makes-Right Rule" Like Hussein's?
Edward Wong files from Baghdad: "The invasion of Falluja has shattered the remaining hope of many of those Iraqis who thought the Americans might be able to free the country from might-makes-right rule, which has shadowed this region from the days of the Ottoman Empire to British colonial rule to Mr. Hussein."

• January 14 -- Iraq "Staggers" Through Another Hussein-Free Day
The mission in Iraq has gone to hell since Saddam's capture, judging by Edward Wong: "A month after Saddam Hussein was pulled from his spider hole, and with the transfer of sovereignty looming, Iraq staggered through another disturbing day of violence and instability."

• December 17 -- Open Wide and Say "What?"

• December 16 -- Joy Already Fading in Iraq
"The joyous bursts of gunfire that echoed throughout parts of Iraq on Sunday are already a distant memory."

• December 11 -- No Good News From Baghdad?
Is the Times burying good news from Baghdad? Edward Wong's dispatch at first reads like another round of Baghdad bad news--until the ninth paragraph: " In contrast, a heavily policed march in central Baghdad on Wednesday, organized peacefully by the country's major political parties, drew thousands of Iraqis to protest attacks by guerrilla fighters, which have injured and killed Iraqi civilians as well as occupiers."

• December 8 -- Editors Without a Clue
A story called "Rebels Without a Cause or a Web Site" sounds like a profile of some low-tech protest group--but it's about Iraqi guerilla fighters attacking U.S. troops.
