¿DÓNDE NO TOPARSE con ningún periodista occidental en Iraq? Ahora, en pocos sitios, aún quedan insurgentes a los que filmar. Pero si el plan del actual alcalde de Bagdad prospera, dentro de poco no habrá ni uno ante este monumento:

The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad — who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties — says he is not worried about his ties to Washington.

In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city.

"We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."
