#2 I also note he left Baghdad and went directly to...DC ~~Prague~~ ~~Islamabad~~ Paris. He's also skating past the whole Iran connexion.

#3 I noted also that the gentleman in question stated that the war on Iraq was based on false premises and unjustified. He went in with the stereotypical State outlook on the situation, and his post indicated no change while there.

That said, it's always helpful to get the impressions of someone actually there, if only to know what will be said in Paris.
