I'll be representing TIME on the WBUR radio show "On Point" at 7 p.m. EDT tonight. Good show. Shared the mic with Rod Nordland, Newsweek's Baghdad bureau chief and Anthony Cordesman, Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. If you're interested, it's available via streaming media from the WBUR main page. (Upper left.)

About me
Hi there! Thanks for stopping in. I'm Christopher Allbritton, former AP and New York Daily News reporter. In 2002, I went stumbling around Iraqi Kurdistan, the northern part of Iraq outside Saddam's direct control, looking for stories. (Some might call it "looking for trouble.") In March 2003, I made it back in time for the war, becoming the Web's first fully reader-funded journalist-blogger. With the support of thousands of readers, we raised almost $15,000. You can read my dispatches here. It was one of the moments in journalism when everything worked. It was a grand -- and successful -- experiment in independent journalism. In 2004, I moved to Iraq, where I would spend the next two years. It was a raucous, scary and exciting place with a lot of news going on. But I've since moved on to Beirut and the wider region. I now report for a variety of outlets.
So we get to hear the voice behind the words. Cool.
I will take the opportunity of your “personal” post to say thank you. Your reportage has been remarkably helpful to those of us who are trying to get a handle on things half a world away.
Stay safe.
Chris, I listened to your interview at WBUR, and the pnly thing I can say is I am more determined to vote for Kerry. Unfortunately Bush has surrounded himself with a bunch of “uninformed” people who are givieng him the wrong advice, it is costing our boys their lives and costing the Iraqis both lives and their country. The whole thing was so badly handled.
Thanks fo the tip, Chris — that was a good show.
Great show, you made some very convincing points.
What makes people so stupid? So easy to brain wash…??

The latest US administration fiasco: Bush Mistake Helps Al-Qaeda Agents Escape http://progressivetrail.org/articles/040809Cole.shtml - Why are we surprised? After all, this is the same administration who advised us to secure our homes with duct tape and plastic sheets.
Great show. Keep up the good work Christopher.
it’s off-topic, but we’d just like to share this piece of news: weeks after the kidnapping a filipino in iraq was resolved, our government is again thinking of sending troops to iraq. :(
