"security" is in almost every other sentence now. there was a whole piece about how the US trrops are setting up a security zone this morning, and the cheerleaders explained carefully how security and water distribution go hand in hand. actually, there is quite a bit of cheerleading for "the troops" this morning on CNN. almost as if someone figured out that cheerleading for US forces was needed.
