CNN Worldwide marks the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq with a global cross-platform initiative focusing on the war’s impact upon politics, the military, the economy and humanitarian situation in both Iraq and the United States. For its coverage, CNN draws upon its unrivalled resources and experience garnered from more than 18 years of coverage in region as one of the only international broadcasters to have had a permanent bureau in Iraq since 1990.
CNN’s coverage spans across its programming with special reports airing on Anderson Cooper 360º, the Situation Room and American Morning and on CNN International and CNN.com.
“Shock and Awe: Five Years Later,” an Anderson Cooper 360º special, will be broadcast around the world to more than 310 million households on both CNN/U.S. and CNN International on Wednesday, March 19, at 11 p.m. (ET) This in-depth hour offers retrospective dispatches from those who have covered the war for the past five years, including such CNN journalists as chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour, senior political correspondent Candy Crowley, senior international correspondent Nic Robertson, national correspondent Gary Tuchman and Baghdad correspondent Michael Ware and contributors including Ret. Gen. David Grange.

Another speaking engagement, and AC's joke
Anyway... here is some information on a DC event next month where Michael will be speaking:
The Center for American Progress will host a series of events and produce several analyses in the coming weeks examining the course of the war in Iraq and proposing the next steps for U.S. policy in Iraq. The series will include speeches by prominent policymakers and panel discussions on important aspects of Iraq policy and its effects on U.S. national security. The Center will also release updated analyses examining the current policy in Iraq and providing an alternative direction.
In addition, each day between the fifth anniversary of the start of the military campaign in Iraq on March 19 to President Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech on May 1, the Center’s website will highlight a key piece of analysis examining the mistakes made by the Bush administration and its allies in waging the war of choice in Iraq—and the consequences of those mistakes on our overall national security. These analyses will be catalogued on the War in Iraq page of our website, providing a detailed source of information on our nation’s costly march to war in the wrong place at the wrong time five years ago.
