First Examiner Piece/Hangin' with the IPLOS

Posted by Bill

IPLOS are "International Police Liaison Officers," civilian police officers hired by the State Department to help the military Police Transition Teams get their Iraqi stations on the right track. To the left is Jody Martinez of Leadville, CO, with Tom Gorman, of Stark, FL. The cigars are Dominican. Much more on them and their role with the Fallujah PD later.

For now, check out my first piece for the Washington Examiner, profiling two Navy Corpsmen doing an incredible job.

Power and internet are intermittent, so I'll get the promised pictorials uploaded when possible.

Love the picture, though every time I see a picture of you I keep wracking my brain to figure out who is going to play Bill in the movie of your life.

That was a good story, Bill. It reminded me of stories my stepfather-in-law has told me about his service as a Navy corpsman in Vietnam.

It's nice to hear a story about our fighting men that's more than a body count or an administration attack piece. Solid reporting Bill.

That hit the spot.

How about Matthew Fox as Bill... [http://celebrityblackberrysightings.com/uploads/mattewfoxblackberry.bmp]

Although he is a bit taller.

Nicely written piece, Bill.

Keep up the good work, and stay safe.

"How about Matthew Fox as Bill..."

I don't know--he looks kinda like a brunette Donald Sutherland ca. late 1970's?

Nice piece.
Incidentally, I'm pretty sure it's a "through-and-through", not a "through-in-through".

I'm glad you're there to observe. Just be honest with yourself and your audience is all I ask.
