00:19and I'm now working for a private security company in Iraq. I'm on a six on, three off

00:45Natasha that I'll come back alive. I'm currently tasked at a Baghdad office working out of a

00:52villa in the Green Zone. The Green Zone is what they call this area in the middle of the city

00:56surrounding Saddam's old presidential palaces and it's where the CPA, sorry, that's the

01:01Coalition Provisional Authority, has set up shop. It's a massively fortified perimeter the size
