Description

Humvee stopped beside road, visible through windscreen of Rino bus, on Route Irish, Baghdad. In a 2008 interview Lyndell Brown explained: "Route Irish is supposedly the most dangerous road in the world. And here you see an American Humvee stop, and you see a soldier; it looks like he's getting out of the Humvee but you don't know what's going on."
