Leave It To Feaver

Here's the NYT article referenced below. Not a great more deal than what E&P reported, but some good fill-ins.

Of note:

In their paper, "Casualty Sensitivity and the War in Iraq," which is to be published soon in the journal International Security, Dr. Feaver and his colleagues wrote: "Mounting casualties did not produce a reflexive collapse in public support. The Iraq case suggests that under the right conditions, the public will continue to support military operations even when they come with a relatively high human cost."

"Under the right conditions?" Would those conditions be being sold a bill of goods based upon a mountain of falsehoods?

To me, that line is the wheat. Read on! It won't hurt a bit. I promise(headache, maybe)
