strains of social discord

July 3rd, 2006 § 2 comments

A good fortnight after everybody else, I’ve finally read through the khalilzad telegram, which makes me realise what a chaotic Mad Max world it is out there in Iraq. Not that I’ve ever seen Mad Max, but the stereotypes fit.

    I’m stuck here Dan. I’ve read the telegram, which as you say is very revealing. But I can’t find any background on it – how the leak happened, for example. Searching on BBC news, the Guardian and the Washington Post sites turn up nothing, nor seemingly on Wikipedia. Can you point me to a source story about the telegram?
