Just another day...

This is a quick update. Nothing vital...nothing too exciting. Things are still relatively quiet in our area, despite the news reports of car bombs galore in other sectors of Doura.

I posted a video on youtube.com located here. It's a little dark (it was early morning), but you can make it out I think. It's of an IED we found. It ended up being a 130mm artillery shell in a bag. The EOD folks couldn't get the bag open so they were going to try to open it with a small charge and see what was in it. Well...they succeeded.

Otherwise we've had more visitors come and go. We entertained an Italian reporter for 24hrs wanting to know about the new JSS system starting up. Geraldo was here on the 15th doing a story on the Market (and no...I was busy elsewhere...so no pic with him....still upset about this.). On the plus side, our little AO is apparently the shining example of how "they" want things to happen. So that's a good thing I suppose.
