ABC, CBS ignored top Marine intelligence officer's assessment that major Iraq province is lost

Summary: NBC's Nightly News with Brian Williams was the only evening network news broadcast to report on a classified assessment by the Marine Corps intelligence chief in Iraq that describes that country's Anbar province as "lost."

After a September 11 Washington Post article reported that a classified assessment by the Marine Corps intelligence chief in Iraq had described that country's Anbar province as "lost," NBC's Nightly News with Brian Williams was the only evening network news broadcast to report the story. To date, ABC's World News with Charles Gibson and CBS' Evening News with Katie Couric have not mentioned the story.
