In the meantime, read this. Iraq, Inc. is an account of the corporate war on Iraq. BKLY colleague Pratap Chatterjee is a genius journalist, a brilliant reporter, a nonpareil researcher, a fantastic writer, and a cool dude. If you remember Naomi Klein's account of the neocons' free-market Year Zero in Harper's a few months back, Pratap's book offers a more complete picture. If you can't wait to get the book, get a taste here and here.
Anj read the Naomi Klein piece ("Baghdad Year Zero: Pillaging Iraq in pursuit of a neocon utopia") a couple weeks, and was raving about it. I've got to take her advice and finally read it myself. Pleasantly surprised to find it online at both Harpers.org, and here at the Information Clearing House.
Also been noticing Chatterjee's name; must be from his pieces in the SFBG, such as this one.
