In 2007, Jim Wilson, a prosecutor with the U.S. Justice Department
(and a Blackburn Study Center/NHCH dad), was specially assigned to the
Regime Crimes Liaison office in Baghdad, Iraq. In that capacity, Jim
worked with the Iraqi High Tribunal, a court presiding over what were
essentially war crimes prosecutions of former members of Saddam
Hussein's Baathist regime for crimes against the people of Iraq.

Jim will share photos and impressions of his time spent serving the
United States in Iraq and his interaction with law enforcement and
court personnel there.

Comments regarding suitability of this presentation to younger
audiences (by one who has seen Jim present on this topic before):

* There are no gory photos of war casualties or anything like that, so
  there's no issue from that perspective.

* It's short enough (about 40 minutes without the Q&A?) that most kids
  could sit through it without much trouble.

* It's interesting enough, what with the exotic photos, the war
  context and Jim's excellent delivery, to hold the attention of
  fairly young kids.

* I wouldn't arbitrarily put an age limit on it. But just like in
  church or any other setting, very young kids (under 8?) will
  probably get antsy.

* The Blue Room (our venue at North Park EP Church) is spacious enough
  that if kids get squirrelly, their parents could just take them to
  the back of the room or to a back corner or outside or something
  close.
