In September, I embedded with US forces in Baghdad and southern Baghdad province along with David Tate. We were in Iraq as General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker updated Congress on the state of the surge. David took a slew of photos and video, and when we returned, we linked up with Matt Burden and Jim Hanson at Blackfive and produced an update on the Concerned Citizens and the surge. David Tate leads with a video segment from Iraq, and Jim Hanson and I discuss the status of the surge, the rise of the Concerned Citizens, the prospects for reconciliation, and a host of other issues. This is the first episode of Blackfive TV.
