DeeKnow’s Grotto

I haven't been following Chris's Back-to-Iraq journal much over the last few weeks but I just couldn't stop reading this post from a few days back where he had the following to say about an experience in Najaf ...

“Yella, yella” they ordered us. BANG BANG! They fired their weapons just over our heads forcing us to crouch. The foreign journalists and the Arab media were separated into separate trucks and we were all brought to the police station at gunpoint. On the way, they continued to scream at us and point their weapons in our faces. I tried to put my money in my bag, but a young police officer thrust his Kalashnikov at me and rifled through my bag.

At least he's actually being paid by TIME to field stories now, but its starting to sound dodgier than it was during the actual war itself. Better him than me.
