More on Baquba

For the second day in a row, David's Stryker commander is quoted in a lead story from The New York Times' front page. Click http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/20/world/middleeast/20military.html?_r=1&ref=world&oref=slogin for today's story.

I'm sitting here in rainy, steamy Queens, ignoring work, wondering what he's seeing, doing, reacting to, and realizing the limits of my art and my work for the last 30 years -- journalism. The New York Times is brilliant at giving the overall picture, but of course, I want the closeup.

Maybe that's why he's there, too.
