A foreign press seems the most reasonable way to go. Unfortunately, unless said press has their own extensive reporter pool and access to source information, the info they may be getting is still "proccessed" through the information networks of either side.
I mean, hypothetically imagine that you're reading a Swiss newspaper that is supposed to be unbiased and neutral (it's hypothetical, folks). Now unless the Swiss have their own intel apparatus and contacts in the region (likely not), then the only information they may be getting will be the stuff coming through the Americans and Iraqis. Only the editorial voice will be neutral. The information the articles are based on would still slant to either side.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
