Game Over

This story, if true (and John F. Burns, probably the best reporter in the country, contributed to it), can have one consequence: we've lost the war. It's taken me a long time to reach this conclusion, but if Filkins, Burns, and Mahmoud are right---if the army we're leaving in control of Iraq is composed of death squads carrying out reprisal killings---it's over.

UPDATE: There are no words.
