Hope he's DEAD.
His letters did become uglier and uglier. I recall that he would keep his wife and kids in another room whenever I went over their for dinner. Then I was expected to eat everything they served. He would go in the other room and bring in the food.

He had a number of Muslim/Arab University of Denver friends and all of them would have their wives and kids in the same room as us.

This is going to be an incredibly tough battle for Mosul in the upcoming weeks or even months.

One thing that really bothered me about my Iraqi friend back then was all the crude Kurd jokes he would tell.

I just cannot see how he could have survived the last two years in Mosul without joining ISIS. It is possible but seems unlikely.
