Chaldean Archbishop of Kirkuk Speaks about Positives

Yet Archbishop Louis Sako is frustrated about the lack of truthfulness and accurate reporting from Western journalists and news organizations who are "simply peddling propaganda and misinformation".

We can sympathize with his frustrations about the reporting. Those who are looking for accurate reporting on the Iraq situation are not going to find it on the nightly network news or on many of the cable news channels.

Archbishop Sako's frustration is increasingly shared by other Iraqis, who can hardly recognize their country from the foreign media coverage. Westerners, too, both military and civilians, upon their return are often finding to their surprise and concern they had lived and worked in a different country to that their loved ones, friends and neighbors back home saw every night on the news.
