I'm confused by the {Chicago Tribune} article -- in one place it is
stated that the four-wire link runs all the way from Baghdad to Amman,
but, further on, the article says the link is to the local phone
office in Baghdad, with the link to Amman being microwave, apparently
Iraqi-owned equipment. Which is (was) it?
