Can Petraeus's Assessment of the Surge be Trusted?
Glenn Greenwald: no.
This is really, really too bad. And it preempts a suggestion I was about to make: instead of pushing prematurely for a troop withdrawal, Dems should push to (a) insure that Petraeus gives us the straight dope and (b) insure that we prepare to leave if things haven't improved significantly.
I certainly hope Greenwald is wrong...but it doesn't look good. (e.g.: choosing Hugh Hewitt as an interviewer...hardly a good sign...)

Sorry, but the closest analog I could come up with for Petraeus is a character in a Monty Python skit.

Nothing out of the executive branch can be trusted.
