The magical slide of General Petraeus
A slide that General Petraeus showed to Congress today at his presentation about progress in Iraq. The future looks bright... until you notice the distinct lack of a specific time scale along the horizontal axis. It makes the chart deceptively useless, rendering it merely a vision of where we pray we could be at some undefined point in time if we cross our fingers and all goes swimmingly. Maybe the general is just eager to be included in a Tufte book.
