Khuder Al-Emeri, 43, center, working for the U.S. Marines 24th Expeditionary Unit as an interpreter, is reunited with local villagers after 12 years, Monday, April 7, 2003, in Qal'at Sukkar village, some 62 miles north of Nasariyah, Iraq. Khuder led an uprising in his village during the last Gulf War and fled to the United States in fear of reprisal from Saddam Hussein's regime. He now returns in hopes of rebuilding his village. >>>>
I just saw a report on this man on CNN, Bob Franken was the reporter. The people of the village were cheering the US troops and even put a wreath of flowers on one of them! Hopefully it will run again in 2-3 hours.
After the piece Aaron Drone said "Quite a contrast to what we've seen before."

After the piece Aaron Drone said "Quite a contrast to what we've seen before."I thought he said something like, "Quite a contrast to what many here [that is, on CNN, on Newsnight] have been claiming." It was a DIRECT SLAP in the collective face of the Wesley "Quagmire" Clark crowd.
