The article, and the films linked to it, are interesting and provide a different look into the Sadr City issue -- something seldom reviewed by media. Sometimes the pieces of the story just don't track well. Nonethless it is a valuable look at the situation -- if a look with a point of view. Accuracy -- in anything -- from Iraq is hard to judge.

In respect to balance the phrase that comes to mind is "good try, no cigar."
