Back in Newport the other day, just after his 15th trip to Iraq, Bing West was barefoot and relaxed as he padded around his relatively modest house nestled behind a tall hedge amid the mansions and McMansions along Ocean Drive.
A stunner from Iraq
This stunning, close-up, on-the-ground coverage of the labyrinth of war in Iraq -- West has just come home to Newport from his 15th visit there -- bristles with the details of daily patrols, raids, beheadings, street gangs, criminals, suicide bombers, tribes, insurgents, sheiks, ambushes, military methods and assassinations.
