Memo to the media

Dear Mainstream Media,

Can you please stop referring to the "Petraeus Report," or at least qualify the term when you use it? It's already been widely reported (LA Times, Washington Post, NPR) that the White House will actually be writing the report. It's only Petraeus's report in the sense that he's the mouthpiece who will be delivering it. They're using him for his perceived credibility, the same way they used Colin Powell. You really ought to be smarter than to fall for this one again.
