Sad News: Iraq


See the photo of me undercover with Iraqi friends. Standing next to me, on my right is my friend, Abdul Sattar, a kind gentle beloved man who was killed a few weeks back. He was taken from his home and killed, shot in the head while his children and pregnant wife looked on. Such a kind and generous man who worked so hard for many people will never be forgotten.

When Auf was in Jordan I pleaded with him not to return to Baghdad but of course he knows best. That is his home. 50 0r 60 dead Iraqi's hits so near to home when we know them.

And in other news: CNN says 29 Palestinian's were killed since Wednesday, it is Friday!

Auf's family is in Syria for safety, he is in Jordan and he will leave for Baghdad in a few days and I am in Hanoi, thinking of them.
