In his Friday column, Paul Krugman states that "[t]he Nelson Report, a respected newsletter, reports that Mr. Bush has made it clear to his subordinates that he doesn't want to hear bad news about Iraq." As best I can tell, the relevant excerpt from "the Nelson Report" has been reprinted here. I haven't heard any more about this claim in the MSM, and my googling couldn't uncover very much about "the Nelson Report." Does anyone know anything about the credibility of "the Nelson Report" generally, or of this particular story?

  I have enabled comments, although please limit comments to the credibility of the Nelson Report generally and this particular story (rather than the general set of issues the story raises, whether true or not).
