There were so many lessons I learned the hard way: missing out on a raise because I didn’t know to ask, having colleagues consistently get credit for my ideas because of how I spoke up in meetings.

My journalistic mission was straightforward: to await the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Nobody knew quite when this would be.

Bush – all suggested a war was brewing. – Luke Harding
