Bobby Caina Calvan is back - does McClatchy trust him to get through a security checkpoint?

McClatchy's Iraq web site is running an article written by Matthew Schofield and Bobby Caina Calvan. There is an oddity here: check out the line at the bottom of the article:


(Schofield reported from Istanbul, Calvan, of The Sacramento Bee, from Baghdad. McClatchy special correspondent Yaseen Taha contributed to this report from Sulaimaniyah.)

Calvan wrote from Baghdad?? Hmm. Condoleezza Rice was in Istanbul, the Kurdish PKK group is in northern Iraq. No one quoted in the story was in Baghdad. So why is Bobby Caina Calvan so far from the action?

Maybe McClatchy doesn't trust Bobby to leave Baghdad, because he might create another incident.
