...and the press desk in Baghdad just told me that this latest news embed will be open to me if I can just get over to Iraq before Thanksgiving and also can convince a major news outlet to sponsor me. I have embedded in Iraq four and a half times before and want to go back to cover the U.S. troop withdrawal, emphasizing the nostalgia value of returning to a world that I once knew well and that will no longer exist after December 31, 2011.
I would be covering the withdrawal from both my own point of view as a returning war correspondent and also as a surrogate observer for all the thousands of veterans who served there as well and cannot go back to witness this historic event.
Since I will be paying my own way, sponsorship of me would entail only providing a communication from you stating that you are my sponsor.
Here is a link to an article about me written by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/outriders/2007/04/views_of_iraq_jane_stillwater.shtml
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I just got my Notary Public commission!
Need a Notary Public? Have seal, will travel. E-mail me at jpstillwater@yahoo.com and I'll stamp your document, make it official and only charge $10. Of course if you live outside of Berkeley, I may have to charge travel expenses -- but am well worth it!

I also wrote a book about going on Hajj (also included as a chapter in "Bring Your Own Flak Jacket," but this book is cheaper -- but it's worth buying them both!) My book on the Hajj is so outstanding that I bet even Christian fundamentalists will love it! Please buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Mecca-Hajj-Lessons-Islamic-School/dp/0978615700/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238806637&sr=1-2
