The pictures of Baghdad Mr. Kaloogian should have posted on his web site are the ones he refused to take:

We learned a lot about the photos Mr. Kaloogian posted from the diaries posted by anthonyLA, BarbinMD, npbeachfun, londonbear, and others. I wonder if Mr. Kaloogian can learn anything from anyone.
