The route to the PX took us past the ruins of Saddam’s command center. The precision of the air strikes the year before astonished me. Part of the complex was nothing but rubble, other buildings were hanging open like an Erector set

He took us to the male transient tent to bed down for the night. It had 5 rows of single beds, 12 to a row with just enough space between them to put your feet down. Despite hearing mortars in the distance, I slept soundly that 1st night.

A corridor to our right led us, after a few jogs, to the dining facility (DFAC).
The Palace was proving to be an odd mixture of ordinary and ornate. The corridor from the rotunda had been all business, but the DFAC looked ceremonial.

We glimpsed our surroundings as he cleared us through a checkpoint and hurried us up a wide marble-floored staircase to the second floor and through a carved, wooden, cipher-locked door labeled Strategic Political-Military (SPM).
