A report on a killing in Iraq that is currently under investigation by the US military -- was a man killed during a raid near Baghdad executed by a Special Ops team or was he killed as he attacked the soldiers? The piece is mostly voice-over only, although Michael provides wrappers filmed in an unidentified studio.

Note: this piece carries a graphic-footage warning.

Length: 4:07

CNN ran a year-end special on the 2008 crop of iReports, and it included a very brief clip of Michael talking about covering the war in Georgia.

Length: 0:14

This is a remarkable prepared piece that has not yet aired on Domestic, although it was in "heavy rotation" on International and also posted at CNN.com -- a reality check about the war that P-E Obama is inheriting from the Bush administration, one that will involve less combat action but far more clandestine fighting between the US and Iran over ultimate control of Iraq.

This is such an important piece that I did a transcript of it myself. (Although hopefully Domestic will start airing it soon!)

Length: 4:25

A voice-over only piece that shows local Iraqi reaction to the reporter's gesture and the reaction from the Iraqi government.

Length: 2:17

Michael updates the current status of the Iraqi journalist as well as the reactions from the Iraqi people.

Length: 3:08

Anderson Cooper asks Michael about the Iraqi journalist whose outburst has riveted the world's attention -- what will happen to him? Under Saddam, he would most certainly already be dead; has enough democracy been brought to Iraq that his fate will be different now?

Length: 4:07

Campbell Brown speaks to Ed Henry (at the White House) and to Michael. Ed speculates that future press conferences may include not just magnetometers but a media shoe-removal as well! (And hey, better collect those BlackBerrys, those could do some serious damage!) Michael goes over the cultural issues in the gesture and why whether Iraqis agree with what the man did or not, they understand his anger and believe he should not be prosecuted.

Length: 5:10

Michael speaks with Michael Holmes on BackStory for a look at the footwear event in Baghdad. The second clip is just a short bit of goofiness, one Aussie to another.

Length: 5:13 / 0:34

Four more NewsRoom appearances: first is with Betty Nguyen at 8pm Baghdad time; second is pre-recorded; third is with TJ Holmes at 10pm Baghdad time (there is a brief transmission glitch during this one); and fourth with Rick Sanchez at 11pm Baghdad time.

Length: 1:57 / 1:27 / 2:35 / 1:50

Michael speaks with first Jim Clancy and then Hala Gorani to recap what happened at the press conference and the reactions on the Iraqi street. (The same prepared clip was part of the second piece, but I pulled it. You've already seen it a couple times by now.)

Length: 4:01 / 3:01

6pm Baghdad time: Michael speaks with Heidi Collins about the reactions on the Iraqi street. 8pm Baghdad time: Michael covers the same with Betty Nguyen and also goes on to discuss how the television station the journalist works for is supporting his release and why the Iraqis are looking to charge the man with throwing the shoes in the general direction of PM Maliki.

Length: 3:37 / 3:15

Morning in America brings the first reactions in Iraq. Michael is on at 2pm and 4pm Baghdad time with a pre-recorded piece that covers the incident, the president's comments immediately afterwards, and the cultural meaning of the action. Afterwards, he discusses what has happened to the Iraqi journalist who threw the shoes and the street protests calling for his release.

Length: 5:04 / 4:43

Three more reports about the shoe incident, the first two with Alina Cho (midnight and 1am Baghdad time) and the final with Don Lemon (6am Baghdad time).

Length: 4:02 / 7:12 / 1:34

A report on the shoe incident and the significance of that action in the Arab world, including video of the event and of the president's reaction.

Length: 5:20

The first report is a straightforward recap of President Bush's arrival in Iraq and the expected meetings and events during his trip. Just before the end of the program, a quick report about the incident at the press conference that was about to become the shoe heard 'round the world.

Length: 2:35 / 1:31

Michael discusses President Bush's arrival in Iraq and the SoFA, which "effectively marks the ending of the American phase of this Iraq war story."

Length: 2:39

President Bush arrives for a farewell tour of Iraq. (Oh, so many comments that could be made right here!) Michael appeared on Sunday Morning to describe the arrival ceremony and expected meetings with Iraqi leaders.

Length: 2:50

Domestic coverage of the Gates visit spanning several hours: 7pm, 8pm, and 11pm Baghdad time. In the first, Michael gives some details of the logistics of the trip, while in the second we see a brief clip of Gates addressing troops at Balad airbase. The third clip is a recorded recap.

Length: 2:06 / 4:05 / 1:56

Michael discusses SecDef Gates' trip to Iraq and meeting with General Odierno, as well as what looks to be early indications that the US plans to use a very, very broad interpretation of the SoFA. Makes you wonder how many DC lawyers are hard at work, parsing every codicil. (Gotta figure John Yoo is one of them...)

Length: 3:31

Michael has a bit of fun with a Q&A for BackStory, and despite some technical difficulties, we get some fairly enlightening answers. He also takes a couple swipes at fellow Aussie Michael Holmes, which is to be expected whenever possible!

Length: 6:18

A voice-over only recap of events that includes the video footage from inside the restaurant and at the local hospitals. Michael outlines the various factions competing for power in Kirkuk. (No clue what the "Fallujah" graphic is all about...whoops.)

Length: 2:00

Three clips from the span of the show, as more details emerge. The first two clips are live and include the first video footage of the carnage; the third one is a recorded recap of the events.

Length: 3:22 / 2:42 / 1:44

The first two reports about the suicide bomber attack at a family restaurant in Kirkuk. These aired 1 1/2 hours and 2 1/2 hours after the incident occurred. Michael outlines the various competing factions in the area and offers the most likely candidates responsible.

Length: 3:44 / 2:16

Three hours after the suicide bombing at a family restaurant in Kirkuk, and the update includes information about the meeting of political rivals that was taking place there. But as Michael says, this one seems likely to become more heartbreaking as we get the full picture of what happened.

Length: 1:27

Michael recaps the Blackwater indictments and how the Iraqi people view the situation.

Length: 2:30

Coverage of the indictments of five Blackwater guards from International: in the first clip, Michael was on very briefly prior to the announcement and then came back afterwards (the actual reading of the indictments is edited out); the second clip is from the next hour, and he recaps the situation; the third clip is his report about the survivors of the incident and is VO only.

Length: 7:05 / 3:38 / 3:51

Michael updates last night's report about the contract workers brought to Iraq and then stranded with no jobs and no way to leave. The situation is indeed deteriorating rapidly.

Length: 1:48

An incredible piece -- more than 1,000 men who were brought to Iraq for promised jobs with KBR have been quite literally warehoused at a compound at the Baghdad airport. Stranded, unable to leave, forgotten by everyone, these men are (as Michael says) the poorest of the poor, and have been victimized by companies who charged them large amounts of money for the 'opportunity.' It is an important issue that desperately needed to be brought to the public's attention.

Length: 5:45

Michael was on American Morning to discuss the formal end of the SoFA negotiations -- the Presidential Council signed the agreement, as was expected. He lays out some of the details that will tie the hands of the next administration and give the Iraqi government full control of the war.

Length: 4:25

Michael returns shortly prior to the Obama press conference to introduce the new national security team.

Length: 1:40

A recap for the international audience about the significance of Robert Gates staying on as SecDef.

Length: 2:58

Michael is back on the Baghdad rooftop, discussing P-E Obama's decision to keep Robert Gates on as SecDef.

Length: 4:07

An AC360 special in the "Extreme Challenges" series, this program focuses on the issues facing the incoming president. In three segments, Anderson Cooper hosts a panel discussion with Michael, Christiane Amanpour, Peter Bergen, and David Gergen. The first segment covers Iraq, the second Afghanistan, and the third Iran.

This is exactly the kind of discussion a lot of us have been waiting to hear... unfortunately, its only airing to date has been at five in the morning the day after Thanksgiving. Hopefully it will get some prime-time respect in the near future.

Length: 4:45 / 6:05 / 5:42

As part of the "Memo to the President" series, Michael outlines the decisions President-elect Obama faces in regards to removing troops from Iraq. The Iraqi parliament has approved an agreement to extend the time US troops remain in the country, but also included a firm date by which all troops must be out.

Length: 4:30

Michael appears on D.L. Hughley's program to discuss what we should do in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran. That's a lot to cram in to just a few short minutes, but D.L. asks great questions, and gets straight answers. (The raw honesty of Michael's first answer is simply stunning.)

Length: 4:01

The Status of Forces Agreement remains a central sticking point in Iraq, and both Michael and Peter Bergen talk to Anderson about that and the odds of our forces in Afghanistan tracking down Osama bin Laden (pretty much zero, since he's in Pakistan.) So what will President-elect Obama do?

Length: 5:56

Michael (in NY) and Peter Bergen (in DC) talk to Campbell Brown about what President-elect Obama will be able to do with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both agree that just pulling troops out of the former and shifting them to the latter is not the answer.

Length: 4:47

Michael and General Wesley Clark speak with Becky Anderson about the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Length: 7:41

As CNN recognizes Veterans Day, Michael was on NewsRoom briefly to introduce his piece on David Bellavia. (Since the piece is available here already, these are just his before/after clips.) He definitely stumbles right out of the gate, although it's pretty obvious what he intended to say.

Length: 0:27 / 0:34

Considering that it wasn't too long ago that Michael was complaining about having to be on the air at 8amET, he seems wide awake and extremely happy to be there at 6, 7, and 8am! But then, this is a very, very special occasion!

During the first panel, he talks about how President-elect Obama is going to deal with the realities of getting the US out of Iraq; the second one is about how other leaders are going to view him; the third is how the average citizen of Iraq (and Australia) is reacting to the news.

Length: 4:21 / 4:21 / 4:52

Michael spends Saturday night at work... he speaks with Don Lemon about Iraq and Afghanistan and the political football that the wars have become.

Length: 4:01

"Back From the Battle" is an AC360 special with two components: a series of reports about veterans' struggles as they return from Iraq and Afghanistan, and a concert put on for veterans by MTV & CNN at the Nokia Theater in New York City on October 23.

In the first clip, Michael does a follow-up with Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, who served in Iraq and whom Michael met when he was embedded with Alpha Company's 3rd Platoon during the second battle for Fallujah in November of 2004. Michael wrote a cover story for Time magazine, "Into the Hot Zone," and David wrote a book about the battle, House to House. The footage of the battle itself was filmed by Michael himself; the single still photo shown would be the work of Time magazine's Yuri Kozyrev, who was teamed with Michael in those days.

For the second clip, Anderson talks to Michael at the concert about David's story and the emotional toll of the war.

Length: 3:33 / 3:16

Michael (still in New York) talks with Fionnuala Sweeney about the latest version of the proposed extension to the Status of Forces Agreement. Sounds like there is still a long way to go...

Length: 4:19

Another excellent follow-up to the debate, John King hosted "The Next President." One segment has Michael talking about Iraq, the other focuses on Iran.

Length: 3:53 / 2:53

Roland Martin's weekend special this week was "What They Didn't Say in the Debate" and in one segment, Michael (and Fran Townsend) discussed the Iran/Iraq situation as well as Afghanistan and how we need to proceed there. A lot of terrific points were made in this segment... and this stuff definitely should have been addressed in the debate and in the post-debate discussion. Kudos to Roland Martin for finally giving the people who know what they are talking about on these subjects time enough to actually explain what we-the-people need to know.

Length: 7:17

Following the debate... well, Michael barely got a word in. Who would ever have guessed that the Iraq war would not be THE topic of this election; in fact, not even THE topic at the debate slated to focus on foreign policy?

Length: 0:19 / 0:23

Prior to the debate, Campbell Brown moderated a panel with Michael, Christiane Amanpour, John King, Anderson Cooper, Jeffrey Toobin, David Gergen, and Gloria Borger.

As is to be expected with the cast-of-thousands coverage, each reporter/pundit got very little time to discuss the issues -- Michael was asked only two questions during the hour. These are those individual clips, but I will be archiving complete coverage of the panel later.

Length: 2:30 / 1:03

Michael talks to Wolf about tonight's presidential debate and the topics he hopes will be covered substantively, including (of course) Iraq, Iran, and Russia.

Length: 3:11

Michael discusses Joe Biden's speech from last night, and what Biden offers in the line of foreign policy experience. He's still looking for specifics, although it's not likely that the American people really want to hear the unpleasant side of bringing the troops home -- and what politician in their right mind (an oxymoron if ever there was one) would be so blunt during a campaign. Well, at least we know Michael will never run for office -- he's too insistent on telling the truth!

(Oh, and I agree with Mr. Night Owl -- they are doing these interviews WAY too early in the morning!)

Length: 5:15

Michael speaks with Kiran Chetry again, about the politics of war -- in Iraq and in Georgia. And Iran is a factor in both.

Length: 4:18

Michael talks some more about the Biden plan, as well as the new timetable agreement and Iran's advantage in Iraq.

Length: 4:05

Michael is back in New York just in time for the Democratic Convention, and talks to Kiran Chetry about Joe Biden's plan to partition Iraq into three separate countries.

Length: 3:03

Lou Dobbs has a clip about Staff Sergeant Scott Lawson, one of the soldiers who entered the infamous house in Fallujah with David Bellavia (and a certain reporter from Time magazine...)

Michael speaks briefly about what happened when the soldiers got inside. It looks like the clip was filmed shortly before he left Baghdad a few weeks ago. (The additional footage of Michael comes from the "Inside the Surge" B-roll.)

Length: 2:31

Fareed's show this week focused on Iran. He started with an interview with the Iranian Foreign Minister. Following that was a panel discussion, with Christiane Amanpour via video from London, while Vali Nasr and Michael were in the studio.

The first section of the panel discussion dealt with how to deal with Iran diplomatically -- the recent EU proposal, the Iraqi SoFA, etc.

The second part focused more on Iran's threat against Israel and the possibility that Israel is preparing to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.

Length: 9:55 / 9:23

Michael appeared again on Election Center, tonight hosted by Erica Hill. The first two segments focus on Senator Obama's stance on the Iraq war and also how that war impacts on the war in Afghanistan. The third segment shifts the focus to Afghanistan, and although Michael is only in one brief clip I include it for the overall theme. (Peter Bergen is interviewed in this segment.) The fourth segment focuses more on Afghanistan itself, although Michael again points out that Iran is a major player on both fronts.

Length: 8:35 / 4:26 / 7:27 / 4:42

Michael appears on Election Center to discuss Obama's trip to Iraq this month and what he should be looking for while there. Soledad O'Brien sits in as host, and the other panelists are Roland Martin and Cliff May (from a conservative think-tank.)

Length: 4:50 / 2:49

Michael is in New York and talks to Kiran Chetry about the latest twists in the SOFA agreement -- according to Iraq's foreign minister, the immunity currently enjoyed by private security contractors will no longer be available to them.

Length: 4:05

Michael delivers a voice-over summation of what Iran's Special Groups are up to in Iraq, and it is an absolutely chilling look at the war, the kind of things our troops face every day but that we, the American public, have been shielded from. And it is about damned time we saw it and started comprehending the truth about the fight and about what is at stake.

Length: 5:46

Two clips regarding how the presidential race is viewed from Iraq and the pending visit to the country by Senator Obama.

Note: The audio on the first clip is lagging several seconds at the start, but it locks in when the image shifts to a fullscreen of the Baghdad feed.

Length: 3:06 / 3:05

Comments on the Bush/Brown press conference in London today -- where PM Brown announced British troop increases for Afghanistan -- and how the epicenter of the Anglo/American view of the Middle East sits squarely in Tehran. International's European Political Editor Robin Oakley also weighs in with the Brit view.

Length: 5:43

Michael recaps the current status of the war and the SOFA talks.

Length: 3:45

Michael makes his first appearance on Fareed Zakaria GPS, discussing the current situation in Iraq. Other panelists are Michael O'Hanlon and Ken Pollack (both of the Brookings Institution) and Dexter Filkins (NYT).

This is one of the best discussions of the current situation that I have heard in a long time. It really summarizes where we are now and some of the choices yet ahead.

Length: 9:38

The same recorded piece as the 6/13 International World News one.

Length: 1:29

Further details on the progress of the SoFA talks: a bit of leftover law from the Bremer/CPA days may allow the Iraqi parliament to set the terms for our troops to stay in the country. You have to give them credit: they sure have learned to play Washington-style politics in a hurry! (Maybe with some help from their neighbors to the east?)

Length: 4:28

A brief recorded summation of the latest developments in the SoFA talks.

Length: 1:49

Michael reports the latest developments in the Status of Forces Agreement discussions: the Iraqis say they can take over and set the terms for our troops to remain in the country.

Unfortunately, the satellite feed from Baghdad was lost before he could go into detail; however, there is more about this in the next two clips.

Length: 2:58

The prepared piece about the AQI documents finally airs on Domestic. The breadth of information contained in the hard drives turned over to him by the members of the Awakening movement -- some of them former insurgents and AQI members -- is just astonishing. The overview provided here provides a sense of the true nature of the day-to-day cruelty and businesslike tyranny of the organization.

(I have added the original prepared piece, as aired on International, to the bottom of the page; there were slight changes made to the video when it aired on Domestic.)

Length: 6:22

Michael discusses the AQI document trove.

Length: 3:14

Michael discusses the AQI document trove.

Length: 2:01

A replay of the section of the prepared piece that was shown on TSR yesterday, followed by a brief comment from Michael. They apparently hope to show the full piece tonight on AC360.

Length: 2:53

Campbell Brown does another preview of the AQI document piece, and also gets Michael's reaction to something that Senator McCain said today.

(The AQI piece did not air on 360 due to breaking news.)

Length: 4:39

Wolf talks with Michael about the al Qaeda files, and Michael elaborates on the kinds of documents found in the headquarters when it was taken over.

Length: 4:39

Brianna Keilar talks with Michael as an intro to tonight's special report.

Length: 3:46

Papers give peek inside al Qaeda in Iraq

Wolf talks to Michael about the treaty currently being negotiated between Washington and Baghdad (and Tehran...) that will set the boundaries for keeping American troops in Iraq beyond the end of 2008... possibly well beyond.

Length: 2:53

Campbell Brown asks Michael what, exactly, Senator Obama would learn from a new trip to Iraq. Well, if Michael sets the itinerary...

Length: 3:30

Wolf talks to Michael about the McCain/Obama rumble... and offers a challenge of his own. Personally, I think having the candidates sit down with Michael for a little reality check ought to be a REQUIREMENT!

Length: 3:39

TJ Holmes asks Michael (in Baghdad) and Kyra Phillips (in NY) to weigh in on whether visiting politicians get a true picture of the conditions on the ground in Iraq when they fly in for the escorted and highly controlled tours.

Length: 6:48

Anderson asks Michael for the latest reality check from Baghdad; Fran Townsend still thinks al Qaeda is a playa there... which kind of undermines her credibility.

Length: 5:25

Michael reacts to John McCain's latest attempt to convince people to stroll the streets of Baghdad.

Length: 7:28

A recap of the desecration story for International.

Length: 3:05

Michael recaps and expands upon the desecration incident that happened last week.

(This feels to me like something that is much worse than the Danish cartoon controversy. Even if it is resolved in Iraq -- and we have yet to be sure that it is -- it may yet burn in other Muslim communities throughout the world.)

Length: 3:24

Michael appeared on Sunday Morning to discuss the Quran desecration story.

(It really is frightening how the stupid act of [apparently] one person could ripple out and cause a lot of problems not only in Iraq but elsewhere in the Islamic world. We haven't heard the last of this, I fear...)

Length: 4:21

In our Behind the Scenes series, CNN correspondents share their experiences in covering news and analyze the stories behind the events. CNN's Michael Ware covers the Iraq war. He was present when a U.S. general apologized for a soldier using the Quran as a target.

This past Friday, Michael was able to enter Sadr City and see the results of some of the fighting there. He was escorted by members of the Mehdi Army, and even allowed to film during outdoor prayer services. It is an astonishing glimpse of life inside the siege.

Length: 4:53

Michael is back in Baghdad, and reports this morning on the latest ceasefire declaration from Muqtada al-Sadr. Although it was touted as a win for Prime Minister Maliki, the real winner is Muqtada -- who has not been forced to disband his militia (thereby keeping his power base) and is positioned to make serious political inroads for the October elections -- and, of course, Iran.

Length: 2:19

Suzanne Malveaux talks to Michael about the surge, the realities on the ground, and what may be mentioned next week during the hearings.

(Big thanks to BA over at ATA for pulling this clip for me!)

Length: 3:46

The longest section of the interview we've seen so far (although still far from the "full" interview we were promised all day) has General Petraeus discussing timetables, militias, and sectarian violence. Michael then discusses the shift in the Democrat's view on ending the war and what the consequences of withdrawing too precipitously would be.

Length: 9:53

Michael talks to Campbell Brown about the fact that the war isn't going to be able to be wrapped up any time soon... and what might ensue after American troops leave.

Length: 4:31

Michael is in The Sit Room and talks to Wolf about the Iranian "agents of influence" in the Iraqi government.

Length: 3:58

Michael asks General Petraeus about Iranian "agents of influence" within the Iraqi government.

Length: 5:58

Length: 5:26

Brianna Keiler shows a clip from Michael's interview with General David Petraeus, which was being conducted at the time.

Length: 3:25

Michael has a new VO for the section of "Inside the Surge" that detailed the deal made with insurgents (and the death of Abu Fahad) and then talks a bit about the hearings.

Length: 7:24

Campbell Brown talks with both Michael and Candy Crowley about the politics of the hearings. Michael also shows part of an interview he did last week with Senator John Kerry (and despite what Campbell says, it was conducted last Wednesday).

Length: 5:41 / 3:45

Michael visits The Situation Room and talks to Wolf about the realities of Iranian influence in Iraq.

Length: 3:36

In the hour after TSR, Michael spoke with Hugh Riminton rather than Lou Dobbs (smart man!) about the testimony and the "political theater" we were treated to yesterday. This includes his first direct comments about the presidential candidates, by the way. (Hint: check the title quote.)

Length: 3:49

Wolf talks to Candy Crowley and Michael for reactions to today's testimony. (Yes, after a few hours on Capitol Hill, I imagine heading back to Baghdad would definitely seem preferable...)

Length: 2:51

Campbell Brown speaks with Michael, Nic Robertson, Candy Crowley, and David Gergen to get perspectives on the testimony today.

Length: 6:13 / 7:23

Campbell Brown speaks with Michael and Nic Robertson about today's testimony. "Reality check" is certainly needed in DC...!

Length: 5:09

Michael is on Capitol Hill, covering the Petraeus/Crocker testimony and also gives an outsider's view on the process that allows something this vital to be turned into a campaign moment. In the second clip, Wolf asks him what questions he wished had been asked... now how can we get Michael up on the House committee dais tomorrow?

Length: 5:05 / 3:00

Campbell Brown speaks with Michael (in the NY studio), Candy Crowley (in DC), and Nic Robertson (in Baghdad) and previews tomorrow's testimony from General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker.

Length: 8:24

Wolf shows Nic Robertson's piece from an embed with American and Iraqi troops, and then talks to Michael for a reality check: who owns the streets of Baghdad, Nuri al Maliki or Muqtada al Sadr?

Length: 6:33

Michael's second special for CNN/International explains the surge and how the different aspects of it have lowered the levels of violence, and the costs (both military and social) of how we achieved them.

Length: 8:42 / 11:18 / 4:50

Erica Hill spoke to Michael earlier in the day, and he once again tries to sound-bite the complex situation in Iraq into five-minutes-or-less.

Length: 4:49

Michael is still in London, and talks to Wolf about the Basra violence and how it portends what could happen if US forces withdraw from Iraq. Basically it boils down to this: the Iranian-influenced Iraqi government is attacking Muqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi militia because he (Muqtada) is not in lockstep with Iran.

(If we resolved things here in the US the same way, Hillary's people would be going after Obama's people with assault weapons, not media attacks. Which I guess would make McCain the Sunni; waiting on the sidelines while the Dems destroy each other.)

Wolf also talks to Ed Henry, who gives a rundown of the current situation and then the president's version of it.

Length: 8:25

Michael speaks with Michael Holmes about the Basra fighting and how Iran is projecting its force into Iraq.

(The clicking sound audible from about the midway point on is Michael playing with the pen he's holding...)

Length: 7:12

Anderson has a recorded interview with Michael about the current situation in Iraq. And also reveals that today is Michael's birthday.

Length: 4:28

Wolf talks to Michael about the Basra situation, including a clip from Michael's recent interview with Ambassador Ryan Crocker. (How does Wolf manage to sound surprised that the outlook for Iraq is "gloomy"?)

Length: 6:29

Michael speaks with Fionnuala Sweeney about the different factions fighting in Basra, how Tehran is pulling the strings, and why Muqtada al-Sadr declared the ceasefire to begin with.

Length: 4:49

Michael talks with Jim Clancy about the events in Basra, how they are playing out, and why today offers us a glimpse of a possible future when American troops leave.

Length: 4:42

Michael is in London, and talks to Michael Holmes about the violence that erupted today in Basra.

Length: 3:38 (beginning of interview is missing, full piece from CNN.com is 4:15)

Thanks to Sharon for pointing out that CNN/I also had Michael on overnight -- this clip was taken from CNN.com.

Length: 4:19

It's just before 6 a.m. in Baghdad, and Rick Sanchez asks Michael to comment on the US death toll in Iraq topping the 4,000 mark. The woman who joins the conversation is Martha Zoller, one of three women Rick had been talking to about Iraq. She makes a valid point as far as not wanting to make the number more important than the lives lost (surely whoever was #3,999 is grieved for just as deeply!) but anyone who thinks that a milestone like that isn't going to be commented upon is just kidding themselves.

Length: 6:52

Michael appears on This Week in Politics to discuss the realities of whether the government in Iraq fears a US pullout and questions why no one is talking about Iran.

Length: 3:52

Michael appears via satellite to discuss the current situation in Iraq with Bill Maher. It's a fantastic interview; Michael at both his fun and serious best.

Length: 8:48

Another incredible special from the 360 team, Shock and Awe gave us a five year retrospective from the reporters who have been covering Iraq: the politics, the military, the birth of the insurgency, the surge, and the realities on the ground.

These are just the portions that Michael contributed; the full special is available here.

Length: 0:21 / 1:27 / 0:56 / 3:23 / 1:55 / 0:40 / 0:24 / 1:49 / 0:33 / 1:51

Anderson talks to Michael (it's morning in Baghdad!) and David Gergen about Senator Obama's stated intention to listen to the ground commanders about ending the war.

Length: 5:35

Wolf talks to Michael via the nightlighted (pretty sure that's the correct term, as "nightlit" would mean moonlight; whatever, he's green) broadband connection about the politics of ending the war.

Length: 7:54

Michael talks with Michael Holmes -- it's now night in Iraq, so we get the lovely green of nightvision -- about the past five years and what may come next. The conversation was interrupted by Kyra Phillips' interview with General Petraeus, but they went back to finish it. (This is a 15 minute discussion about Iraq -- why don't we get this kind of depth with Michael on Domestic?)

Length: 6:41 / 8:20

A prepared piece about an Iraqi police officer who was tortured by fellow police. Michael interviews him and provides voiceover narration; like most things in Iraq, there are complicated questions raised by the facts of his story, including why it happened and at whose hands.

Length: 4:06

Michael reacts to President Bush's speech on the anniversary of the start of the war. The satellite feed is lost during this; they were unable to get back to him before the end of the program.

Length: 1:27

Michael talks about the changes since the surge began.

Length: 2:58

Michael talks about the improvements the surge has achieved, and the ramifications of the way they were achieved.

Length: 4:10

Another report from the FOB: how well has the surge worked, and at what cost?

(Michael is clearly having some fun with the crew at the start of the clip, you can just about imagine what he must have heard through the earpiece to let him know he was on already...!)

Length: 3:01

Michael is at a Forward Operating Base in the north of Baghdad and sends a report via broadband as CNN International begins to cover the fifth anniversary of the start of the war.

Length: 7:45

NO TRANSCRIPT AVAILABLE

Michael comments on the leak that revealed that Britain's Prince Harry has been serving in Afghanistan for the past ten weeks, while Nic Robertson shows some interview footage shot there by a pool reporter.

During the interview, Michael used some Aussie slang to describe the Australian gossip magazine that first ran the rumor and Matt Drudge's gossip site that first 'went large' with the story; in a second clip, Anderson gives the translation, garnered from fans on the blog and a quick phone call to producer Tommy Evans in Baghdad.

(And if you don't know about the Drudge connections, he printed an absolute lie about Michael last year in a story out of Baghdad that either simply had zero basis in truth or was an April Fool's Joke that Drudge fell for.)

Length: 3:54 / 0:56

ABC Breakfast Radio

Michael delivers an incredible summation of the results of the surge and how there is no way that we can pull the troops out now. This is the clip that all the presidential candidates need to watch and address.

Length: 5:08

Michael is back at the Baghdad bureau, and does a recorded report about Turkey's latest incursion into Kurdistan.

(This aired on CNN International, not on Domestic, and the reason for the graininess is the dual conversions I have to run it through.)

Length: 2:15

Michael hosts a round-up of today's coverage, which includes an update from Reza Sayeh and a broadband interview with Jennifer Eccleston in Karachi.

(And this would have aired in the US if we weren't sentenced to 24/7 political coverage here...)

Length: 7:19

The polls have just closed, although results are not expected for several hours. Michael recaps the events of the day -- not as much violence as had been expected/feared, but several deaths did occur.

Length: 1:19

Michael reports from Islamabad during the final hours of voting. Not a lot of violence -- certainly less than most people expected -- but as Michael says, if the fix is in, it was in long before today. And the mere expectation of that may trigger violent reaction as the results are announced hours or days from now.

(It's a pretty windy day there, they had to change mics between feeds.)

[Note: there was a major technical glitch on my recording of the first clip, which I spent hours trying to fix before realizing the transfer/conversion failed in the same spot each time, no matter what I did... so I finally just bypassed it, which means the clips starts sort of mid-sentence as Kiran Chetry sets up the interview. All you're missing is about five more seconds of Musharraf casting his ballot.]

Length: 2:27 / 3:23

Length: 2:02

Michael confirms that the Russian forces are moving out of the greater Georgian areas but as expected, only into the so-called breakaway territories, and they intend to maintain a "buffer zone" as well.

Length: 2:13

A second appearance, with Ralitsa showing live footage from the Gori checkpoint. As Michael is discussing the presumed plans of the Russian troops, the signal is lost.

Length: 5:50

Length: 2:01

Length: 1:53

Michael phones in a report about another non-pullback day by the Russians, as well as reports that the troops have moved back into Poti, where they took several Georgian soldiers into custody.

Length: 1:46

Michael sums up the day's events for Wolf. No evidence of a pullout, and in fact he adds that the incident with the tanks plowing through the police cars was actually an advancing of the Russian lines.

Length: 4:15

Just after midnight and Michael's back in Tbilisi and introduces the earlier prepared piece. He also answers some questions afterwards. There is no stick to beat the Russians into following through on their agreements... a definite reminder of the bad old days.

Length: 3:59

Michael spends the day in Gori, looking for evidence of a troop pullout, and finds none. In fact, tanks smash through a barrier of Georgian police cars with clear disdain for any peace agreement that may have been signed in Moscow.

Length: 2:29

A pre-recorded piece highlighting the hoped-for pullout. (NOTE: The audio feed is slightly out of sync on the broadband feed.)

Length: 2:16

Midnight in the Georgian capital, as everyone awaits the coming pullout of Russian troops, some of whom remain merely 40 kilometers outside the city.

Length: 3:43

A short recorded piece about what was supposed to happen Monday.

Length: 1:11

Michael is back in Tbilisi and appears on GPS. He sums up the events of the past few days by saying that not only did the Russians easily sweep aside the Georgian Army, but the invasion served to send a message from Moscow to the world... and no one has any intention or ability to answer back in any meaningful way.

Length: 3:46

Michael's prepared piece on the destruction of the railway bridge. He finds the firing cable that was used to connect to the detonator device and follows it to the protected site where Russian soldiers sheltered from the blast. Georgians are already working to clear the bridge debris.

Length: 2:28

A short pre-recorded piece that played first on International and recaps the current Russian troop movements and the destruction of the rail bridge that links Tbilisi with the port city of Poti. One of the things it is used for is to transport oil for companies such as BP.

Length: 1:52

Our first look at the destroyed bridge. Michael has also spoken with local residents, who told him that the bridge was destroyed seven hours earlier. The Georgian Vice-Prime Minister says that his people are ready to take up arms against the Russians again if they do not start adhering to the cease-fire. The Russians claim that they need time to collect arms and remove booby-traps set by the Georgians. Mmm-hmm.

Length: 4:12

Michael calls in from Gori, reporting that despite the signing of a cease-fire agreement, the Russians are still very much dug in there, which is undisputed Georgian territory. In fact, he is at the location of a key railway bridge that has been destroyed by the Russian troops. Whether the bridge was blown up before or after the signing of the peace deal, it is a clear violation of the spirit of the agreement, and will disrupt Georgian transportation and trade for months.

Length: 3:43

A longer version of the piece from Poti, followed by a live discussion with Lou Dobbs about the political and military realities from the front lines.

Length: 4:44

Michael lays out the locations of the Russian army troops and what vital arteries they are controlling.

Length: 3:07

Tom Foreman asks Michael for an update. The Russian troops are now only 29 miles east of Tbilisi. They are now controlling not only the two breakaway regions, but the land between. Michael believes that they will go to the bargaining table that way, and then 'negotiate' down to only keeping the two disputed regions. Pretty damned slick.

Length: 4:25

2 a.m. During a live special on the crisis in Georgia, Michael tells Jim Clancy about the trip to Poti (including the prepared clip) but then updates that the Russian army is moving out of the port city; however, about 30km outside Poti, he and his team passed through a location where the Russians have dug in with heavy artillery.

Length: 2:56

A prepared piece showing Russian troops in the port city of Poti, although says that they are not in control of the entire city.

Length: 2:23

3 a.m. -- Michael speaks with Lou Dobbs and explains the Russian advances within Georgia.

Length: 3:15

Length: 4:55

Moments after the first TSR clip aired, Michael was on World News Europe to describe how the Russians are in control of the Georgian cities of Gori and Poti.

Michael returns from break by way of Gori, Georgia, where he shows that the Russian army is still in control of the city despite the cease-fire and supposed drawdown of troops.

Length: 1:23

Length: 6:24

Michael spells out what today's announced withdrawals really add up to and again has to go through the explanation of why the Iraqi government isn't embracing the "Sons of Iraq."

Length: 5:04
