Query on Daily Kos? (none / 1)

Maybe we should put this up as a query on Daily Kos? I have an account there, but I don't want to put it up unless you think it's okay, since we sort of developed the story together. What do you think?

Something like...

Call For Arabic Speakers to Investigate Petraeus

and then the blurb from US News and World Report, and a call for people to scan the net for references to previous recipients.

But it has to be exactly the "Gold Award of the Order of the Date Palm," or some very minor variation, or else the whole thing gets too ambiguous.

(I only posted on European Tribune out of admiration for Jerome, and the rest of it is just a sad joke.)

Fine by me, If it is a story it's better that it gets out.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

the silver and bronze editions of the medal are far to common,

We're looking for previous recipients of the gold medal

we have the links to the various wikipedia and US sources, they should be included too. lay everything out that we've put together and see what other people can add.

I just put it up on Daily Kos! (none / 1)

It here.

If you want me to add something specific to the story, let me know. I gave credit to you and European Tribune right at the top.

"Gold Award of the Order of the Date Palm" gets no Google hits. You want "Gold Award of the Iraqi Order of the Date Palm".
