Spooky...
by Jennifer Van Bergen
This was not the first time I was approached by a spook, or the first time I have pegged one in my midst, but it was the first time I was approached by a man claiming to be an Iraqi-American. In the rush that usually occurs after one speaks publicly with several people waiting to chat, I tried to listen politely as I offered Nabil my attention. After five minutes, though, I found myself feeling bad for getting a little annoyed at him. He carried on about loving America and loving Iraq and seemed to be trying to hint at something beyond this -- making vague references to what the U.S. was doing to Iraq. Finally I said to him, "Why are you telling me this?" After all, I speak publicly about these things, why did he feel he needed to tell me what I was already speaking about?
