The Iraq war has so polarized this country. That's why you hear hisses and boos and claps, depending on what you're saying � people want to hear journalists reaffirm their previously held beliefs about the war. And I don't do that. I simply speak what I see. And I'm sorry if that's offensive to people, but I'm a journalist.
