As Congress argues about how to save $50-100 billion in the next year, we have spent trillions (no exaggeration) in Iraq and Afghanistan, even though most independent experts agree that the latter war is not winnable, and the former was a mistake.
The Journal has a responsibility to educate the public about the challenges, tenor and progress of this expensive conflict. This information is more important that a San Francisco snowstorm (Sunday's Journal) or Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars (a former front page lead story)? This interminable should be regular front page news.
Below you will find 12 articles from just the last few days. They are drawn from a variety of solid sources, including some reputable newspapers and the Associated Press (the Journal's main source).
Remember, the Albuquerque Journal enjoys a near monopoly in this state. It should be held to a high standard, so if you have your own Untold Stories, please e-mail them to me. If you think this e-mail is a good idea, forward it to others, so they can request to be added the Untold Stories list.
Yours in media education,

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your
blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
