Here's a Baghdad Ferner update.

"We had to talk to the [Iraqi] border guards and customs people, and they were nicer than the ones at the Canadian border going into Windsor."

His group is handing out a one-page sheet of information, written in Arabic and English, to whoever will accept it explaining why his group is in Iraq. He said he gave one to an Iraqi border official. "You could tell he was moved by the fact that there were people here at risk to themselves trying to prevent a war," he said.

Mr. Ferner said he intends to be in Iraq until March 3.
