War in Iraq

The complicated history of Iraq

Rather than cover the Iraq War as an embedded reporter, journalist Anthony Shadid set out to tell the story of how the war was experienced by average Iraqis. He joins Midmorning to talk about the human toll of the war, and what the future holds for Iraq.
