FOREVER WAR: Dexter Filkins, the Pulitzer Prize-winning , recounting his experiences covering the war in Iraq. Filkins actually had a piece in yesterday's "Week in Review" section about returning to Iraq for the first time in two years, finding it a changed if uneasy place, balanced on a knife's edge of peace following the much ballyhooed troop surge, but still capable of slipping back into chaos. With the economy in the tank, most people are probably less interested in Iraq, but Filkins' trenchant analysis is worth the time of anyone truly interested in understanding the realities on the ground in Iraq and figuring out how to move forward.
