Lesson in Democracy from Iraq
In the 12 years I have covered environmental issues for newspapers, news services and magazines I have rarely spoken to elected officials who head state, provincial or federal environment departments. Instead I leave a trail of unanswered messages or play phone tag with government PR folks who know little about their department or aren’t willing to comment.
That’s my North American experience 95 per cent of the time.
So today I phone Baghdad.
Stumble It!
