Blogger Bill Ardolino is going back to Fallujah for two weeks on August 30. He did some fantastic reporting and posts a new video he shot back in January:

Ardolino writes: “Some of my coverage will focus on the state of the Iraqi Police (IP) and the US Police Transition Team (PTT) mission. At the end of my last trip, the Iraqi Police were at a turning point: they had just become officially responsible for the security of Fallujah (along with the Iraqi Army), they were in a largely defensive posture, recruiting was accelerating, they had a brand new police chief and there was a question as to whether the effort would gain or lose momentum.”

And spread the word about PMI. They’re doing great things.
