The Chief and his group's internet connection is on the fritz. They aren't sure when it will be fixed either. Until that time, his communication will be spotty at best and his ability to answer email will be difficult. While he is still receiving email with the help of another unit, he is limited in his ability to respond.

On another matter, I can now publicly say the Chief is working to help resolve the situation with Ghayda Al Ali's family and the New York Times. The Chief is concerned about all Iraqis, not just the children, and was quite upset with the situation as presented by Mr. Ghayda Al Ali. We will update this as we hear more.

If you do not know of this situation, you can read about it on the Healing Iraq website, a direct link here.
