The State Of Iraq's Government, Security

from National Public Radio

As American troops pull out of Iraq, we hear from a veteran war correspondent about the condition of the country those troops are leaving behind. Anthony Shadid won two Pulitzer Prizes for his Iraq coverage with The Washington Post. He's now in Baghdad for The New York Times, and is the author of Night Draws Near: Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War. Michele Norris talks to Shadid about the state of Iraq's government, security, electrical grid, and the mood of its people.
