A Good Question
Some large Sunni tribes have just declared war on al Qaeda. Jim Robbins asks a good question: Why do the media insist that Zarqawi is winning?
Update:
The WaPo has picked up the story and added more information.
"Hawijah was never a hideout for terrorists and fugitives," the statement added. "Anyone who provides refuge to terrorists will be considered and dealt with like a criminal and terrorist."

I wish I had the perspective of fifty years' time to place this in context; is this a sign of slow progress or a gasp before civil war? It's difficult these days to pare the truth from the spinning.
How did you know how old I am?
I think it's hard to spin the fact that locals are declaring war on the ousider terrorists. It puts a lie to calling the terrorists "insurgents", which they aren't by any stretch.
A "civil war" is between locals. So this isn't one.
