Given fears for the town's soldiers, it was as if Bradford held its breath for the year they were in combat, hanging on every newscast, every e-mail and call home. "Nothing progressed," says Farrah Chambliss, 28, wife of police chief Josh Chambliss, also a staff sergeant in Iraq. "We ... just floated...
What can you say about a man who shows you a picture of a human heart lying on the road after a bombing in Baghdad, then turns to his whiny 9-month-old daughter and calms her with a gentle "Hey, Toots"? Bradford's boyish police chief, Josh Chambliss, 30, is sitting in his neat-as-a-pin living room with wife Farrah and baby Chloe, clicking through an electronic album on his computer of photos he took of life in Baghdad: the palace of Saddam Hussein's son Uday and his infamous rape bed.

Much will depend on whether Powell's interpretations are compelling. Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, who has seen much of this material in intelligence-committee briefings he would not discuss, says what is made public will point the audience to logical conclusions, "such as why are they procuring these particular items if that's not what they're doing with them?
