Michael Yon Reports From Iraq

Glenn Reynolds hooked up a little while ago with Michael Yon for a report, via satellite telephone, on the fighting going on against Shia militias in Basra and Baghdad. It’s not exactly an eyewitness account, since Yon is in Mosul, where he’s been following the devastation we’ve wreaked on al Qaeda–a battle that, Yon says, is about over. Still, his on-the-ground analysis of the conflict with the Shia militias is better informed and more balanced than you’ll get pretty much anywhere else. It’s well worth listening to; you can check it out here.
