Rode along on the boarding of a small freighter coming down the river that leads to Umm Qasr, the big port town in Iraq. The captain, with his big, thick glasses, reminded me of a friend of mine from Boston. The Coast Guard is patrolling this river looking for any escaping Iraqi leadership and/or Al Qaeda terrorists. This freighter was fine though. Kuwaiti flag. Iranian crew. Smiles all around.
