Dear Friends,

Yesterday I felt so much outrage, rage at what is now being referred to here as “the ‘G’ nightmare.” Iraqis are being told they must return to Baghdad to get the new “G” passport. It is now required by the U.S. and British embassies. One older couple who has loved ones in the states has been waiting in Amman for almost a year now. Recently they received the good news that their visa has finally been approved! In the same breath, they were advised that the passports they hold are no longer valid. The Iraq embassy in Amman is not issuing the new passports; they can only be gotten in Baghdad. I find this impossible to grasp.
