Freelance journalist Doug Grindle was embedded with a U.S. Army unit responsible for patrolling a rural area just west of Baghdad. The U.S. military has considered this area an al-Qaeda safe haven, and U.S. soldiers are working with the local Sunni population to identify and eliminate insurgents by sharing intelligence and setting up roadside checkpoints manned by local civilians. This vignette includes video of the patrolling, meeting with local leaders, and interviews with the U.S. military.
