Today's post by Christopher Allbritton - Iraq's Murky Battle for Basra - is another great example of his ability to get to the heart of Iraq politics in clear and insightful way. That's why we're calling it - and a piece from a few weeks ago predicting the very tensions that erupted last week - to your attention as a solid pieces of analysis and reporting.
A few weeks ago - just as he was settling into Dubai where he'll be writing from now on (fewer explosions) - Christopher filed Worries For Iraq spelling out the challenges the country and the U.S. face as the year moves on. It's a prescient piece that led much of last week's analysis and commentary.
