From Baghdad to New London

March 18, 2006

Listen here. Aired on Weekend America (scroll down the page until you get to 'featured in hour two'.)

I first met ex-Baghdad resident, artist and former US Army translator Esam Pasha when I was working on a story about an Iraqi art exhibit. Later, I traveled up to New London, Connecticut to hear about his new, decidedly quiet life on the east coast. He was away from war for the first time in his life, and loving every minute of what most of us take for granted as mundane, everyday existence. This is a non-narrated piece.

PeterTB, Grigory, trolls of the first order who can't read or quote a rpreot accurately.What about figure 7.11 on page 167? Don't see that being quoted by you lot. Nor do I see you quoting section 7.36:Overall, there are some positive early indicators that the program is making progress toward achieving its intended outcomes, despite the slower than expected implementation of the program. Lead economic indicators, including construction approvals, indicate that the introduction of BER P21 has contributed to a reversal in the decline in non?residential construction activity that resulted from the global financial crisis. Education industry stakeholders, including peak bodies, Education Authorities and a substantial majority of school principals have also been positive about the improvement in primary school facilities that will result from the program.So keep lying your lies, liars.
