One week before Gen. David Petraeus is expected to give his report on U.S. progress in Iraq, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric says she has already seen dramatic improvements in the country.
"We hear so much about things going bad, but real progress has been made there in terms of security and stability," Couric said Tuesday. "I mean, obviously, infrastructure problems abound, but Sunnis and U.S. forces are working together. They banded together because they had a common enemy: al Qaeda."
Couric traveled to the city of Fallujah in Anbar province, which U.S. forces entered in April 2003 and again in November 2004. That is the same city where, in house-to-house fighting, American forces uncovered nearly two-dozen torture chambers.
"We found numerous houses, also, where people were just chained to a wall for extended periods of time," U.S. military intelligence officer Major Jim West said back on Nov. 22, 2004.
"The face of Satan was here in Fallujah, and I'm absolutely convinced that that was true," said Marine Lt. Col. Gareth Brandl.
It is also the city where four American military contractors were set on fire, mutilated and hanged from a bridge by insurgents.
Now Fallujah is "considered a real role model of something working right in Iraq," Couric said.

“I think everyone I talk to agrees that restoring basic services is really an imperative step in bringing stability and some kind of sense of society to Iraq,” Couric said.

Was the real Katie kidnapped and replaced with a conservative look-alike? Karl Rove's final eeeeevil prank?
Who captured Katie Couric and re-programmed her?
Where’s Katie and what did Bushcohallicheney do with her?
I think maybe, just maybe Katie Couric is reporting finally on ground the truth, that the Iraq situation is not as bad as she has been lead to believe, and has been reporting it to be.
How would she know...she’s never been there before.
"Don't worry Johnny, you and your friends Harry, Nancy, and that fat @$$ Murtha, can spit on the troops when they have their Victory parade down Broadway."
Satan is lacing up his ice skates as we type.
ha...
ha...
Wonder if our troops standing next to her are doing what they did to hildabeast? Troops have hand signals...especially if they’re in a distressful situation...when a marine or soldier was made to stand next to hildabeast...he gave that signal that he had NO choice.
How would she know? She’s just another lightweight.
Nielsen.
Outstanding!
“Who captured Katie Couric and re-programmed her?”
Someone took Katie and left a pod.
I smell a set-up....
