Michael Ware is an Australian journalist reporting for CNN as an international correspondent based in Baghdad. He joined CNN in May 2006, after five years with sister-publication Time Magazine.
He is one of the only mainstream reporters to have lived in Baghdad near-continuously since before the American invasion and he gained early acclaim as one of the few reporters to establish contacts with the Kurdish Peshmerga and the Iraqi insurgency. Ware was one of the first mainstream journalists to report on the severity of the growing opposition Western coalition forces faced in mid-2003, and his contacts have provided him with controversial videotapes of attacks on coalition forces, including the murder of four Blackwater contractors.
Ware is also known for his stark assessments of conditions on the ground and his repudiation of the overly-optimistic assessments sometimes made by politicians. Ware has also been 'embedded' with American and British military forces on numerous occasions, and the coalition forces have been the focus of many of his reports as he continues to describe conditions on the ground for both military and civilians in Iraq.

FedquipMichael Ware is doing fantastic work with his coverage, thanks for posting farhad.
T-manIt sounds like Bush and Darth Cheney are doing whatever it takes to give the semblance of things going in the right direction so when they leave office and these deals go to ca-ca, they can say "Well things were looking good when we left office. This isn't our fault."

Damn right, Mike, that's how people are manipulated. Be careful or that soldier you're standing next to will let you take a bullet in the back (ours or theirs???)
I wish there really was a hell so the people responsible for war and propping up dictators (that "fight" terrorism) would get ass raped by a knife for the pain they caused people on Earth.
Peace out.
