The food was better, and at least Iraqi, though it is clear that the caterer is not drawn naturally to Iraqi food. He still brings along lousy Western-style bread, which I had him remove.” —L. Paul Bremer

Has been brilliant to work with Harper's Magazine, to bring Paul Bremer's emails to a broad American readership. A psychological window into America's occupation of Iraq.

I am sure that pretty soon I will have a limp-wristed Brit in my office concerned about the waves we are making in their area of operation. Tough luck, boys. New game in town.”

From L. Paul Bremer’s emails during the U.S.’s invasion of Iraq.

Wrote the weekend essay for The New Statesman on the "special relationship" myth.

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

The “special relationship” myth may not win us exceptional influence, but is does breed the expectation of exceptional compliance...

I was on Radio New Zealand today, to talk about the revelatory emails I uncovered about the US occupation of Iraq.

They formed the basis of an article I co-wrote, which featured on the front cover of The Sunday Times Magazine.

Have a listen here:

US forces killed Mazen Dana in front of me and other journalists. The sound of the shots is still vivid. After his body was removed, a colleague put Mazen’s blood-spattered camera in our car to take to Reuters. Mazen had a wife and 4 children. Can confirm it was “not a great” day

@PiperSFrench Thank you so much! Here is the link to the full article if it is of interest.

Here’s one example of the documents I found.

An email from Colin Powell to Paul Bremer.

August 15 2003. American occupation at its most startlingly candid.

Please read the front cover Sunday Times Magazine story I have co-written, to find out more:

‘We are not ready for empire!’

An unexpectedly timely read about America’s failed occupation of Iraq:

[Francis Collings @fran_collings]

This is great investigative work. And so worth reading. Bremer always looked a somewhat haunted man, but the fact that he complains so much about Iraq not showing any gratitude is remarkable.

“The journalist is Mazen Dana, a 43-year-old Palestinian cameraman with Reuters who dies of his injuries. He is not mentioned again in the emails.”

[Louise Callaghan @louiseelisabet]

Incredible story
