TJ and BC started a team blog from Iraq on Jan 8th. “Two guys working in Iraq doing their best to clue you in on the ground truth”.
They are obviously “in the thick of it” [identities are not revealed] and are an excellent source for real-time reporting on joint Iraqi-US counter-terrorism efforts. I highly recommend reading their blog from the beginning:
On Iraq Election Day, they posted the following “Interview with the Architect of Election Security”. It reveals little of the security strategy, but gives a bit of perspective on the good-guys in Iraqi security:
TJ and I had the opportunity to meet today with the Iraqi government official in charge of the development and execution of the nationwide election security plan. Over the past months, he has worked tirelessly on a comprehensive plan incorporating all security agencies in Iraq. As the world saw today, it was a success. For obvious reasons, we will not release his name or his exact position in the government. Here’s the short but exclusive interview, only minutes old, straight from Baghdad, with the man who made it happen. Or, as he would say, one of the team.
