I'll have the special, hold the shrapnel.Maybe George w. Bush is right, maybe there is progress in Baghdad. Why, within the ultra-secure Green Zone, for example, there's a new dress code.
The US State Department has directed its employees to wear this season's fashion statement, the PPE or Personal Protection Equipment look.
A McClatchey Newspapers reporter managed to get his hand on the latest directive from the US Embassy:
"As a result of the recent increase of indirect fire attacks on the International Zone, outdoor movement is restricted to a minimum," it states. "Remain within a hardened structure to the maximum extent possible and strictly avoid congregating outdoors. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory until further notice.
"Public places that are not in a hardened structure - such as the Blue Star Restaurant - should be frequented only in conjunction with the use of your PPE."
