I did a quick sampling as well. The Guardian lists the story as an exclusive, but that shouldn't stop other news sources from reporting on it in due time, so I suppose it's a matter of waiting and seeing how this story breaks and develops.
I couldn't find it in headline news on the BBC or the CBC either. They are focusing on the Berlusconi prostitution probe.
I see that CNN has made prominent the Iranian lawmakers' call to execute opposition leaders in the face of protests.
It will be interesting to see if U.S. media overlooks or undervalues this Iraq war revelation and instead focuses on the usual kind of extremism going on in the Middle East. You know, always looking outward instead of inward to find a source of the problems in the world.
If anything, this isn't quite the case of a fascinating summary of media coverage. I think at this point this makes for a great media audit over the next few days to see if American media decides to cover more stuff about what's wrong with Iraq both past and present.
