Were you laughing? I guess my own laughter drowned it out. So that's your
answer: He doesn't live in a vacuum and knows by osmosis what everyone else
knows. And therefore knows this thing that he apparently doesn't know,
namely that the Army Corps of Engineers continues to build and be
appreciated by the local Iraqis -- but not it would seem by your osmotic
journalist.

Don't like being laughed at Lawrence?
Anderson is an established journo writing for the New Yorker. These guys
don't live in a vacuum. They have contacts, they write books, they get paid
for it. Sure this one might not fit in with your politics, but give him some
credit.
At least he's been there. Have you?
