I sure hope the soldiers in charge in Iraq point Mr. Graham towards the Chaldean Christians, who could certainly use some help from what I've heard.

A first hand look at the marines from an embedded Arab journalist....unfortunately, this journalist didnt travel into combat with the marines (I am sure she would have even better stories to tell). Has anyone seen any other stories from Arab/Muslim embedded reporters? arabnews.com An Account of Marines’ Incredible Gestures Barbara Ferguson, Arab News War Correspondent AT AN AIR BASE IN KUWAIT, 16 April 2003 — People are curious about being embedded in the Marines. This is my effort to set the record straight. Some readers suspect I was subjected to propaganda while living with these men and women. There was no propaganda campaign. If there had been, there would have been no embeds. Journalists wrote their own stories, and made their own interview requests and interviews. The Marines’ “PAOs” (public affairs officers) would set up the meetings, but not oversee them. What happened to the majority of journalists living the Marine life is that we experienced it from the inside. I can honestly say that seven weeks as an embed has changed me forever. And I have often found many similarities between Marines and Arabs.
