Iraq bound?

Stricken.

 

I apologize for any misconstrued material I posted.
As I said, to each his own.
Good luck on making an acceptable decision about whether to go.

 

Have no specific ideas but if you want to get sense of dangers suggest pick up copy of "Making A Killing" -- a very interesting book written by a fomer member of SAS that went into private security work taking reporters around the country.

 

Let us know how it works out, Jones. As far as I know, SportsJournalists.com has never had its own Baghdad agate clerk.

 

Jones - I've got a story you should investigate if you go- alegedly Saddam brought it two Russian chemists who used to work with Russian Olympic team in creation of performancing enhancing drugs.

Saddam wanted to find the fountain of youth and also wanted to test on his soldiers.

I've also heard that these guys are now trying to sell their mixes to U.S. athletes through some US distributors. Wildest rumor I've also heard is that the CIA is somehow involved.

Sounds like it might make a good story if you can flush it out a tad more.
