OK, he has a blog and is ..."an interrogator/debriefer here at a palace in Baghdad, Iraq. "
oops - omitted the thanks for the link.
I figgered he was the guy in the article, but did not know what he was doing in IRAQ, and how we knew about it here on FR.
thx.
The President recognized not only CWO Holton's work with the children of Iraq, which gained 'Chief' international recognition, and taught the world about the suffering of these people under Saddam Hussein that our press usually refuses to acknowledge, but the President also recognized Chief for his faith, unapologetically proclaimed in his daily blog from Iraq.
"Chief's" blog was a lifeline, alternative "news" ~ primary source from Iraq very early on in the war when our press was being most deceitful and destructive...CWO Holton's blog, and other blogs from Iraq, as well as e-mail from the troops, validated the CENTCOM/DoD reports and debunked much of the daily press 'quagmire' peddling...and heartened those of us fighting the culture war.
The bloggers are a very valuable resource.
The President mentioned blogs, too.
We are bypassing the powerful mainstream press, and getting the successes of our troops, the unreported daily good news, to the people.
