Wash. Post's Romano touted Petraeus' Iraq testimony as "the only report that matters now on the Hill"

SUMMARY: During a washingtonpost.com online chat, Lois Romano asserted that "the only report that matters now on the Hill ... is the greatly anticipated report by General [David] Petraeus -- which will give assessment of the conflict" in Iraq, despite the fact that her own newspaper published a report noting challenges to the U.S. military's recent assertions -- and scrutinizing a specific claim Petraeus is expected to make -- that sectarian violence in Iraq is declining.
