The one listed as headshot is from Fox News. The ones at protests, I have no idea, they get added to my fb page whenever someone takes a pic and tags me, which is where I get most of these.

Thanks. Is there a photographer credit for the first one?

I saw that about the congressmen - US politics confuses me but I imagine this won't sit well with their peers. I hope they'll resist the usual urge politicos have of preferring to shoot the messenger rather than digest and act upon the contents of the message.

Cheers,

Sorry about that, here are a couple.

Haditha thing goes beyond the firm; we have a couple of Congressman implicated at the moment in trying to make the case disappear from behind the scenes.

Good day sir,

I filed the copy, but still need a photo. I sent them some unusable jpg of a screengrab of you from a YouTube clip off CNN, largely because the quality's so low they can only drop it in for draft layout purposes and it won't end up in the final version by accident - but could really do with a usable shot as soon as you're able. Doesn't have to be anything too elaborate, they'll only use it small, and a head-and-shoulders is better than a full-length shot.

Hope all's well, and you're not too stressed out. The Haditha disclosures seem to have provoked the kind of reaction I imagine was intended. Will be interesting to see how/if the company recovers.

By the way, did you know about this?

Angus:

Sorry, hoped to get back to you earlier. You want to give me a call and we'll go over it right now? There are a couple little changes that need making, presumably due to my mumbling.

Hello Barrett,

Sorry to hassle you again - I realise events have overtaken you and there's way too much on your plate right now to look over the draft, but I have to file at 9am EST tomorrow. There should be an opportunity to amend it once it's been laid out but the sooner you can let me know of any errors or clarifications the better.

I need a photo to send with it too:  the shot of you in the chair in your apartment that is up on the D Magazine site might work, but obviously the mag would need permission from the copyright holder to use it.

All the best,

AB
