Another Baghdad Snapshot

Here's another interesting "snapshot" piece out of the BBC bureau in Baghdad describing daily life.

I think the line that grabbed me the strongest related to the recent leaked memo from the US Baghdad embassy to Condi Rice regarding the problems faced by the local staff who work there. After the memo was leaked, "The embassy has started shredding documents that include Iraqi staffs' surnames."

They are so terrified that the people who work in the embassy will be killed that they're erasing them from the records completely.
