It should. He was mentioned in a high-profile NYT story a month ago about Charlie Company being besieged on all sides of the makeshift fort they’d built inside Ghazaliyah. So gripping was it that it warranted the rare HA double-link, first in one of my posts about the Mahdi Army and then in Bryan’s essay about reporting in Baghdad. It’s great to see the situation’s improved, sort of: according to the troops there, the Shiites are still muscling Sunnis out of the area (albeit with a lower profile per Sadr’s orders) and a big jihadi attack on the base is expected at any time, but the rounds whizzing by Michaud’s head as described in the Times piece are, for the moment, absent.
