      To: RS Milant:

      Get a copy of "Fist in the Hornet's Nest" by Engel read it and then please comment. Please pay special attention to his discussion about his relationships with the translators and guides.

      I have been watching Richard's field reports in Afghanistan, and I pray for him. He is in very dangerous areas and I fear for his life. Richard, please, please, please stay safe. We need more books from you.

      RS Millant obviously has no idea what he is talking about.

      Richard Engel is the only reporter in Iraq that I trust with telling me the truth.

      To RS Milant:

      FYI Richard Engel speaks fluent Arabic. He spent years in Egypt after graduating from Stanford.

    5. RS Millant  06/07/2008 04:05 PM Report

      If this gentleman does not speak Arabic, he has no idea what is really going on.

      Do you know who are the most powerful people in Baghdad?? Its the _translators_ who guide the US Marines and these "reporters". If they claim a man to be an "insurgent", the marines take him to the dungeons of abu-ghraib. the extortion is horrible. Now how useful is a book made by a man who learns about Iraq from extortionist?

      anyway, Charlie, please please have more interviews with Iraqi citizens. please.

      if he says the truth they will problably fire him,like cnn had to do to Peter Arnett.

      Alqaeda-in-Iraq is an administration red herring, or an ill defined reality. Engel's depiction flummoxed me. His definition excluded the equivalent of "non-Iraqis." He talked of Sunni malcontents and others but did not imply they were foreign fighters, which I thought was an imperative to fit the definition???? Are they a phantom as much as WMD's, mushroom clouds and say Bosnia sniper fire?

      IMHO this young man has a considerable future
