From I Should Have Stayed Home:
TJ and I had the opportunity to meet today with the Iraqi government official in charge of the development and execution of the nationwide election security plan. Over the past months, he has worked tirelessly on a comprehensive plan incorporating all security agencies in Iraq. As the world saw today, it was a success. For obvious reasons, we will not release his name or his exact position in the government. Here's the short but exclusive interview, only minutes old, straight from Baghdad, with the man who made it happen. Or, as he would say, one of the team.
One of the questions:
Q. What went wrong and what went right today?A. For me, our plan was executed very well. We deployed our forces well, and had good coordination and communication. But there were problems with identification systems and badges. There were also media problems.
Quite a scoop for a blog. Read it all.
Another great post here. These guys and Cigars in the Sand are fast becoming the must-read sites for up close insight from Americans in Iraq.
