Finding the cost of freedom
|
Baghdad, Iraq (IHT): The Bush administration has been criticized for not creating a significant refugee program for the thousands fleeing Iraq every day, including translators and staff who worked alongside U.S. forces. […] One interpreter, Amar, who did not want his full name used, went to at least 10 embassies during a trip to Jordan last autumn, but found only blank faces. He counts his sacrifice for America in bones and skin. He is missing a finger, an eye and part of his skull, after a large bomb exploded next to his Humvee last year. He has received two threats to his life. Two bodyguards accompany him everywhere. He stays in three different houses to confuse potential attackers.
