The news of a leaked memo from the US embassy in Baghdad, portraying Iraq's capital on the edge of civil breakdown, was sneaked out in a one-paragraph brief in the Washington Post on Sunday.
But the distressing details of the memo from the US ambassador, Zalmay Khalilzad, have gripped the blogosphere, despite the story's low profile in the US media.
Jolly Roger was furious at the lack of coverage. "Is this story not newsworthy?" he wrote on Reconstitution.
If we can be told ten thousand times about how Zarqawi's killing might be yet another "turning point" in Iraq ... how come we can't debate what our own Embassy is saying?
