GOOD READ

Once again, we rely on the local press to give us an up-close look at Soldiers in Iraq.
A pair of Iraqi men in a minivan pull up and offer a prized gift to the soldiers - packages of toilet paper. As the soldiers inspect the vehicle, one of the men offers to share some of his Iraqi tea.

"It has the flavor of hell," the man says, holding a cup out to Spc. Eldredge.

"That doesn't sound very good," the specialist says with a grin.

"No, it's very good," the man assures him. "It prevents the stomach gases."

"I'll pass," Spc. Eldredge says, now laughing.
