Brooklynsf - > Back in San Francisco -> Warden messages
Warden messages

Every week or two, I get a "warden message" from the US embassy in Damascus.

These emails are usually meant to warn the American community in Syria about any potential dangers that could face us.

For example, they say something like, "There will be an anti-America protest in West Mezzeh today. We asking all Americans to avoid this area."

I do just the opposite. As a journalist, my first thought is to take a taxi to the spot of the actitivity.

After all, that's the closest thing I'll ever get to receiving a press release here.

How secure to you feel when you attend these rallies?

I have to admit, I admire your courage.  That takes guts.

But you are totally crazy. :)
