...Blackwater and other security contractors are a ubiquitous presence in Iraq. The skies buzz with their single-striped Little Bird helicopters. When I was a correspondent in Baghdad in 2004, Blackwater convoys were notorious for bringing a Wild West mentality to the streets of Baghdad. They were easily identifiable--speeding white suvs with black-tinted windows and automatic weapons pointed at you. Hired guns are even more in evidence at the checkpoints in Baghdad's Green Zone, although there is a hierarchy as to who guards what.

...whether “The Winner” will create the same comic magic as “Family Guy” remains to be seen. MacFarlane’s last offering, “American Dad!,” failed to spark the same kind of buzz as its animated older brother. In many ways, “American Dad!” and “The Winner” are fairly similar shows. True to MacFarlane’s traditionalist claims, they both resemble family-style sitcoms, and both lack the eccentric flavor that characters like Stewie...
