Father Ragheed was one of the chaldeans I met when I was up in Mosul in '04. There was an old christian monastery down the hill from our FOB. He came to the FOB and asked to see the place - Saddam had forbidden access to it for years as it sits in an old Iraqi ammunition storage area.


Thanks for sharing your pictures and you experience. What happened to Ragheed was horrid. It is easy for people who are not over there, or have family and friends over there, to not truly realize the horror going on over there. For many of use I am sure the death and destruction going on over in Iraq is inconceivable.
