Harry Smith asks Bremer the TOUGH questions

[Cocoa]

I think Smith is giving us a preview of how Iraq is going to be covered post-"handover"

"During Bremer's appearance on 'The Early Show,' Harry Smith asked if he was surprised by the absence of violence in Iraq the last couple of days. 'No, one of the things that we have always hoped is that once the Iraqis had full responsibility for their country, a lot of people who are doing these attacks against the coalition would realize that they would now be attacking their own people,' Bremer said."

The absence of violence in Iraq? This may be the language chosen by whoever paraphrased Smith's question rather than Smith's exact word choice. But still, the general idea that violence has ebbed in Iraq since Bremer took off on Monday is just plainly, sadly, false.

(goes on to list some stories about terrible violence in Iraq)
