When the Black Flags Fly | War on Terror, American Center for Law and Justice ACLJ

 I’ll never forget the first time I saw the black flags. It was April, 2008, and I was in a three-vehicle convoy driving through the city of Balad Ruz on our main supply route. I’d been on the route many times before and had seen only the hustle and bustle of a small Arab city. But this time was different. The streets were empty — with little traffic and almost no pedestrians — and the black flags were flying. Everywhere.
