AUSTIN BAY is in Iraq, but he’s published this interview with former Sen. Bob Kerrey that he did just before leaving, in which Kerrey talks about what Iraq will look like in 20 years. In his email, Austin observes: “What’s interesting is Kerrey and I see Iraq in the same light, 20 years down the pike. The column captures maybe 20percent of the interview/discussion. I didn’t tell him I was going to Iraq. Probably should have in retrospect.” Sadly, Austin’s (or perhaps I should say Col. Bay’s) duties are getting in the way of firsthand reporting at the moment, but I hope that will change.
