i was talking to some of the terps here at the cop, and one in particular struck me. he speaks very good english, actually lives in the U.S. (that's where he joined the terp company) and will officially be an American citizen in a few months.
anyways, on 9 apr 2003, i was in my dorm room (freshman year) watching iraqis take sledgehammers to a giant statue of saddam in baghdad. the terp i was talking to was watching the same event, a block away from the statue. very cool.
Andrew...what is a "TERP"? It's not listed in your "glossary"!
