...transparent in our actions, and as long as we feel that we are accountable to the people, the threat will not be there. We have to constantly think about what our objective is, what our focus is, and the fact that the people are behind us. We cannot let [them] down...
...your cover story raises the bar even higher. I don't think I had fully grasped the social and political aspects of the rivalry between Sunnis and Shi'ites until I read your story.

"I see the roads, I see the bridges, but I cannot eat them," says Malik Dioum, 25, who works part-time in a downtown Internet...
