Iraqi Minister of Defense Visits Samarra Island

Unfortunately the above video is in Arabic, but the gist of it is the Iraqi Minister of Defense, Dr. Khalid al - Obeidi visits the liberated areas of Salahuddin, Samarra Island Iraq.
 

I've been following the Iraqi Ministry of Defense YouTube feed for about 2 years now. I'm impressed with how open the minister documents his meetings and visits. I think we in the west could learn a thing or two on how this fledgling democracy informs it's public and the world at large. Obviously he doesn't allow audio on some meetings between ambassadors et al, but you get what I'm saying - There's a visual record of how hard working he is. I have to admit, I like the man's style!
