ENDGAME IRAQ | Trying to get to Baghdad 2.26.09
We’ve been waiting days now to embark for Baghdad. A videographer and I have been staying with troops in what is known as “tent city,” on an unnameable U.S. base on the Persian Gulf.
Richard Mosse, a 2008 Yale School of Art graduate, is in the Persian Gulf awaiting an available flight to Baghdad. Mosse will be embedded with the U.S. military in Iraq, photographing Saddam Hussein’s palaces. Mosse will be sending regular updates and photographs to the News.
