These documents are a behind the scenes look at how the war is being conducted and deserve attention, but not at the expense of millions of Americans who are suffering from a pathetically slow job market and have exhausted unemployment benefits. These are the kind of stories that give politicians cover from addressing other issues, such as unemployment.
