This Just in - Whew!!
After being glued to CNN regarding the bombings in Iraq today, I saw a VERY welcome email in my inbox from my friends at the US Embassy in Baghdad a few hours ago:
Press reports about the hit on the US Embassy tonight are accurate. There were casualties, but I can't confirm press reports about numbers. Alison and I are fine*. Elections in Iraq are tomorrow. I hope the people here have the chance to vote and not get killed in the process. Sometimes you see real evil in the world; I saw it in Algeria and I see it here with these insurgents who kill civilians without a thought. My fingers are crossed for tomorrow. I hope all is well with everyone at home - regards - bob
