Now, columnist Mike Kelly and staff photographer Tyson Trish are following the troops in Iraq for two weeks. Check back daily for posts and multimedia from Baghdad to the Green Zone.
MIKE KELLY has reported from such far-away spots as Belfast, Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza City, Malaysia, Kenya and the detention camps at Guantanamo Bay. The Record columnist is featured regularly on radio and TV and is the author of two books.
