Wiring the War Zone
It's a typical morning at Camp Anaconda, the giant US military base 50 miles north of Baghdad - light breeze, temperatures heading to 100 degrees, scattered mortar fire. Ryan Lackey is getting ready for today's assignment: installing a pair of satellite Internet connections at Camp Warhorse about 30 miles away.
Ryan Lackey needs to star in an Ayman al-Zawahri produced video, making short-lived gurgling and whistling noises. Making a fast buck off an illegal war of aggression is a far cry from running a secure data repository on an oil platform. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
