Clancy about the latest in the Ramadan offensive: a
call from al Qaeda in Iraq leader al-Masri for his
followers to kidnap Westerners.
Length: 3:00
Incredible footage from
an embed in Ramadi... the closest most of will ever
come to being under fire. I honestly don't know how
these Marines cope with this, day in and day out, yet
they consider it just doing their job. Michael's
admiration of (and concern for) these guys comes
through in all his work, but this piece is special.
Length: 7:54
Mick talks to Paula about
the Ramadan offensive and the poll that shows most
Iraqis want the Americans to leave.

the first clip is the entire thing, the second is
just the interview.
Length: 7:03 / 2:20
A replay of the lengthy
piece shown on AC360 last night, followed by a new
live interview with Heidi Collins. The first clip is
the full thing, the second is the interview only.
Length: 6:40 / 2:27
Michael's been out
talking to The Bad Guys, and gives us some insite
into the mind of the enemy.
(Whoever subtitled the al Qaeda tape made a notable
error, though. The guy says, "Just to let you know
that we
love to die as you
love to live." BIG
difference.)
Length: 6:42

Soledad O'Brien, disputing President Bush's claim
that he (the Pres) gets information on the situation

situation in Baghdad.
Length: 1:54
Michael does a short clip
for Lou Dobbs regarding the worsening situation in
Iraq.
Length: 1:07

are just some things that should automatically revoke
your membership card in the human race. Using power
tools to torture people is definitely one of them.)

Anderson and Mick discuss
the violence, the torture, the insanity. Prepare to
be horrified, again, by the crazy people.

Length: 3:19
Miles O'Brien talks to
Mick about the latest uptick in violence -- Kirkuk
saw coordinated suicide bombs today -- and other
concerns, especially the expected surge in attacks
during Ramadan.
(The headline refers to the trench-around-Baghdad
idea that was floated over the weekend. As his grin
indicates, that probably wasn't the "F" word he would
have liked to use...)
Length: 3:07
Michael is part of a
panel discussion -- along with Barbara Starr and Maj.
Gen. Don Shepperd -- summing up the Iraq situation.
Length: 7:09
John Roberts, filling in
for Anderson, talks to Michael about the big trench
idea.
Length: 4:21
Mick speaks with Wolf
about the Baghdad vs. al-Anbar prioritizing and why
it is a short-sighted plan. Wolf also asks him about
the reason for all the torture and mutilations by the
sectarian groups -- it's all to piss off the other
side and get things riled up. (Just when you thought
the human race couldn't get any more screwed up...)
Length: 4:37
Mick talks to John
Roberts about today's events in Baghdad.
Length: 3:07
Mick talks to Wolf about
today's embed, including how the locals reacted to

much as a warning...)

another embed -- this time, he's joining the soldiers
in Baghdad during their first push inside Muqtada
al-Sadr's turf.
Length: 2:39
Five clips from American

2:23
Anderson (in Afghanistan)
runs a piece Mick prepared about the situation in
al-Anbar, followed by a very brief discussion of the

running the war? Mick and Lou reach some sad
conclusions.

discusses the most recent increase in violence with

Taliban fighters seem to be studying al-Qaeda
methods.
Length: 3:29
Mick reports again from
Ramadi, still embedded with Marines there.
Length: 3:46

they are establishing inside the heartland of
al-Qaeda.

Mick, still in Ramadi,
marks a grim milestone: the number of American deaths
in Afghanistan and Iraq has now surpassed those from
the 9/11 attacks.
Length: 1:21
Mick is still with the
troops in Ramadi as they try to establish a foothold
against al-Qaeda in Iraq.
