Did you read the article, Tom?
Of course, my one time outside of the green zone (any area guarded by soldiers, in which you have to show ID or get searched to enter) was coming in from the airport, so that will change when I occasionally have to go out into the city, starting in the near future. But when I do, those in my office use a non-descript Ford Taurus, which is certainly safer and less conspicuous than a Humvee or a large SUV, which most other CPA people drive. And you always have two shooters in the car as well, in addition to a bullet proof vest and helmet.
Not exactly a clear view of the way things are in most of Iraq... living in a palace full of chandeliers and never having gone outside a protected area.
