I think Cup fever had taken the better of the editors at The Australian yesterday.  This from the front-page Scrapbook section:

Time magazine on the tremendous progress in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq

Security, which almost all Iraqis say is their major concern, is far better in both the north and south than it is in the capital…

Whichever way you look at it, ‘tremendous’ is not an accurate reflection of the way Time characterised the progress post-Saddam Iraq.  From day to day The Australian lurches from delusional to comical.  Still, shouldn’t criticise – they’re probably doing a good job of reading the market.
