Another speaking
engagement, and AC's joke
Thursday, March 06, 2008
I had
several emails tonight about Anderson's joke during
360, "A streaking Australian, and no, it's not
Michael Ware." Yeah, I think he more likely would
have been the guy flattening the moron running across
the field, but...
Anyway... here is some information on a DC event next
month where Michael will be speaking:
The
Center for American Progress will host a series of
events and produce several analyses in the coming
weeks examining the course of the war in Iraq and
proposing the next steps for U.S. policy in Iraq. The
series will include speeches by prominent
policymakers and panel discussions on important
aspects of Iraq policy and its effects on U.S.
national security. The Center will also release
updated analyses examining the current policy in Iraq
and providing an alternative direction.
In
addition, each day between the fifth anniversary of
the start of the military campaign in Iraq on March
19 to President Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech
on May 1, the Center’s website will highlight a key
piece of analysis examining the mistakes made by the
Bush administration and its allies in waging the war
of choice in Iraq—and the consequences of those
mistakes on our overall national security. These
analyses will be catalogued on the
War in Iraq
page of our website, providing a detailed source of
information on our nation’s costly march to war in
the wrong place at the wrong time five years
ago.

Michael Ware (CNN)
Michael
Ware, CNN’s correspondent in Baghdad, is one of only
a handful of international correspondents who has
lived in and reported from Iraq since before the
start of the war. Previously Time
magazine’s
Baghdad Bureau Chief, Ware has provided perceptive
reporting on the five years of the Iraq war,
including groundbreaking reporting on the growth of
Iraq’s insurgency.
