Iraqi bishop charges US troops leave country worse off
August 23, 2010
In an interview with the Italian daily La Stampa, an Iraqi bishop charges that as US combat troops pull out, his country is in worse shape than when the Americans arrived.

John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter has translated the provocative interview.
