Life inside Baghdad's Green Zone
Laws that make people free
BRIAN MURPHY HAS SERVED as a senior democracy fellow with the United States Agency for International Development (US AID), helping develop a strategy to support conflict resolution in the Greater Horn of Africa. In that capacity he was based in Nairobi and traveled in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa. Through USAID, he's also worked in Armenia, Haiti, Kyrgyzstam (part of the former Soviet Union), Rwanda, and Ukraine. Murphy's current assignment took him to Baghdad, to assist with legal aspects of the recent handover of governmental control to the Iraqi people. The following is an e-mail exchange between Murphy and the Sentinel's Warren Bolon.
Dear Brian,
I've just reread the account of your spiritual pilgrimage that was e-mailed to us recently. It's remarkable how you've made your practice of law into a means of serving people and governments in times of crisis and rebuilding. Could you answer a few questions on that subject, as you're seeing it played out in your current assignment?
