The Midnight Hour

And I thought my first trip to Baghdad was cosmopolitan! I am writing this from the internet cafe in the American Embassy in Baghdad. One of my Marines and I have some business to take care of here, so we have been “stuck” here for a few days. It’s quite a dreadful predicament. Besides having […]
