The situation on the ground is worse than the images we see on television

Richard Engel has been risking his life in Iraq for more than three years bringing us the stories of what's happening over there. Of anybody, he has every right to be pissed at the Republicans' "blame the media" game.

Crooks and Liars has video, the story on today's Today show.

Gregory: Do we miss the overall story about what's going on in Iraq, or does security remain the overall story?

Engel: I think the security problem is the overall story and most Iraqi's I speak to say-actually most reporters get it wrong-it's the situation on the ground is actually worse than the images we project on television.
