Jon Stewart has an interesting but short interview with US News and World Report writer Alex Kingsbury about Iraq. (actual video at bottom)
Some key points:
Security is better in some areas. US troops are now acting like cops- he mentions US troops looking for a Benzine drug lab.
Stewart points out that it must be hard to the police and not speak the language - Kingsbury agrees pointing out how still after 5 years very few US troops speak any Arabic.
Kingsbury also tells of streams of human feces running down the street, and how still after 5 years the people only have one hour of power a day.
Kingsbury talks about the troops feeling about US patriotism not being about what side of the lapel you wear your flag on but believe patriotism is really about staying informed.
Wished this interview had gone longer.
