I think there ought to be a memorial for all journalists in the Iraq fiasco, where most were killed with a degree of intentionality. But of coarse that was another time, a different war, the "good war" they called it, and we were all a tad more naive then. What about Dhar Jamail's heroic work today?

I'm sure that photo, once published, will be poignant. But the photo you chose is the way I hope he's remembered. Thank you – nicely written, wonderful subject.

I've only read his "travel dispatches" in "Ernie's America", which are great and express such a warm engagement with the people of his country and his desire to tell their stories sympathetically, yet not without discernment and humor.
