Still catching up on all the fun stuff I missed. Via The Cunning Realist, I read this (warning: pdf) cable/message from Khalilzad to the State Department Headquarters sent last week. It's depressing stuff: among the Iraqi employees of the embassy, there is a moral problem due to increasing violence, religious persecution and gas/electricity shortages. In short, among the Iraqis who should be the happiest (working for the Americans gets them more money than the average Iraqi, thus they should have more resources to get around the problems), they are depressed and getting more depressed.
Worth reading (its not long).
