Does anyone else feel like we're being kept in the dark about something, here?

How about some actual information about what's happening to our troops?

This is the Twitter age and there are reporters everywhere. Where's the- confirmed- info?

Among other things, an airbase in Iraq has been attacked.

Just who do you expect to be providing detailed quality control information to the persons who launched those missiles?
