Another great podcast from this American Life. This
week's subject is Haider Hamsa of Iraq.

When Haider was young, he worked for Irag's Ministry of Information which was essentially a propaganda arm. He spoke terrific English and it took him many places in Iraq and eventually the U.S. It's a great story and demonstrates the personal side of the War in Iraq really well.
