For the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we'll be discussing Greg Mitchell's new book, So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits – and the President – Failed on Iraq, this week at the TPMCafe Book Club.

Mitchell, editor of Editor & Publisher, will be joined by military historian Robert Bateman, McClatchy military columnist Joe Galloway, Executive Director and Founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Paul Rieckhoff, Washington Independent reporter and TPM alum Spencer Ackerman, and media critic and NYU professor Jay Rosen.

Mitchell opens the discussion with an overview of his book, which tracks media coverage from the run-up to the invasion all the way through last fall's debate on the "surge."

Ackerman, fresh off covering the Winter Soldier Conference, complains that the deficient coverage continues apace, noting that few major media outlets covered the conference, let alone gave it prominent placement.
