Baghdad is quiet today. There’s a curfew until midnight, which means no cars are allowed in the capital and all the Iraqi Government employees have the day off. Fortunately for me, US Government officials in Iraq work seven days a week.
I spent the morning and afternoon at the headquarters of the Baghdad Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT), which is located in an office building near the US embassy. By way of orientation, the press centre is on the northern edge of the Green Zone, near the only hotel therein, the al-Rashid. (I went to the al-Rashid today, too, but I’ll save that for another post.)
