I'm in no way an expert on the man, and you all know as much or more about him than I do. He was the founder and leader of The Anbar Salvation Council which I wrote about in July. He was also the man who had a message for the American people in You have 1 unread message. My only comment is that I believe the world just lost a very historical figure. Through his actions, and the reporting of them, a bound was developed between the Iraqi people and a lot of the American people. A huge level of respect also developed for the Iraqi people. At least from those of us that knew of him.
