    Glenn Greenwald shows us almost everyday why he is such a terrific reporter. Here he tells us that Mike Allen with Politico in an interview with Hugh Hewitt that O'Hanlon and Pollack of(the surge is working and things are going swimmingly, that the military organized the pairs tour and they even got a chance to interview General Patraeus to boot.
