I’ve been remiss in not mentioning this before. My friend Jeff Emanuel, formerly of Air Force special forces and veteran of the war in Iraq, went back to Iraq earlier this year to do some of the most extensive embedded reporting by anyone, anywhere. This month’s American Spectator features his fine article “Ambush in Samarra.” It is a story of courage, grit and sacrifice. As I have said elsewhere: it is the kind of thing that reminds us that not everything in war is wicked.
