Wash. Times' Curl misrepresented Obama's NY Times op-ed

SUMMARY: The Washington Times' Joseph Curl suggested that Sen. Barack Obama's acknowledgement in a New York Times op-ed that "new tactics have protected the Iraqi population, and the Sunni tribes have rejected Al Qaeda -- greatly weakening its effectiveness" represented a departure from Obama's opposition to President Bush's troop surge policy. But Curl did not note that Obama also wrote that "the same factors that led me to oppose the surge still hold true."
