In 2005 I wrote a cover story for the NYT Magazine about abuses committed by Iraqi troops working with American forces. These sorts of abuses–Iraqi on Iraqi, as Americans watched–are a major issue in the new batch of Wikileaks documents. I talked with the Guardian in their new video on the issue. Update: I also talked about it on NPR’s Morning Edition.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. In 1983, after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, I went to Brussels as a copy editor for The Wall Street Journal/Europe. I left the Journal in 1985 to write for The New York Times and The International Herald Tribune, covering NATO and the European Union. In 1987 I moved to Seoul, South Korea, where I wrote primarily for The Washington Post. After three years in Asia I moved to Budapest to cover Eastern Europe and the Balkans. I spent most of 1992 and 1993 covering the war in Bosnia for the Post.
