over the 'ill, beyond 'idden valley, it's-a comin' from over there:
Some of you know that I've been seeking an Iraq embed since November. Well, yesterday, my request was granted. I fly to Kuwait on Saturday and shortly thereafter head to Baghdad, and I'll be spending most of the month over there. Now through Saturday is going to be ridiculously frantic as I make sure I remember to bring everything I'll need.
Posting is going to be... irregular. I don't really know what kind of internet access I'll have, and I also don't want to step on the toes of the magazines that are sponsoring this trip. That said, what I'll try to do is give a flavor for Baghdad (and the other places I'll be) in the spirit of this rather unbuttoned blog, and do it with some frequency. Sometimes I'll just post something brief so those I inadvertently forget to e-mail will know nothing's happened to me. This embed is going to be one of the most exciting things I've done so far. The anticipation, adrenaline and nervousness kept me up most of the night, and I'll just try my best to do right by the people whose stories I'm trying to tell and by the readers who lend me their trust. --Spencer Ackerman
Good Luck, be safe. I can't wait to see what a no-B.S. truth teller like yourself has to say about the situation on the ground in Iraq. |
