Report

With Sheikh Mohammed, local wheeler-dealer, and 3/4s of my Civil Affairs team, on picturesque JSS Ur, outside Sadr City, a quiet Baghdad suburb. The camp was located in Ur, the modern wreckage, not Ur, the ancient city, which was about 50 miles away

Report

Humanitarian food distribution to local officials of Sadr City, Iraq. Note the decor of the camp pictures, in contrast to the dining-room shot at the bottom. This last was taken in the embassy, which bore no resemblance to our base outside Sadr.

Report

Bus Stop, Baghdad embassy style.

Report
