America's Responsibility to Protect Our Iraqi Allies
An Interview with Kirk Johnson: Part 2

From January to December 2005, Kirk Johnson worked with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to help rebuild war-torn Iraq. In Part 1 of our interview, EPIC talked with Kirk about his time in Baghdad and Fallujah with USAID, and the near-fatal accident that prevented him from returning to his post. In Part 2, Kirk shares the harrowing stories of his Iraqi colleagues, the dangers they face for working with Americans, and what he is doing now to help save their lives.
