Michael Massing wrote an interesting article about being embedded in Iraq in the last issue of the New York Review of Books.
Some of his experiences were fairly different from my experiences in Iraq. I never felt the US army put on “The Truman Show” for me. But maybe they didn’t bother.
Other parts of Massing's article were in sync with what I heard: ‘"It's all about Iran," Michael Ware, CNN's Baghdad correspondent, told me when I visited him at the scruffy villa that houses the network's bureau.’
