The Friday Freakley briefing
This is an altogether different sort of release, but I thought I'd vary up the mix. It's very long, so I'll just give you the link to the Web version, with this excerpt to give you an idea of the flavor:
"Progress quietly proceeds here in Afghanistan, and we see in this both counterinsurgency and in development.Reporting acts of violence continues to make news in the United States, but significant good news are often overlooked.The Taliban have not achieved any of their objectives in the last year, and by contrast the Afghan government, the international community has worked on infrastructure, getting more Afghans to work, more children into schools and expanding the government."
Those are the words of Maj. Gen. Benjamin Freakley, speaking to a Washington press briefing from Afghanistan, where he is the commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-76 and commanding general, 10th Mountain Division.

Brad, this is the kind of news the liberal media wants to bury or outright deny. We have bloggers right here proclaiming Afghan is now a failure. Good article.
