Patrolling the streets of Baghdad is a tense job.  But one thing that lightens the mood is sharing treats with the kids.  One day, I leaned out of our Humvee and tossed some goodies to the children.  I was enjoying the laughter and smiles when I noticed a man glowing at me after some candy landed at his feet.  "What's wrong with that guy?"  I asked our gunner.  "He was pouring cement," he explained.                                                  Jennifer Twitchell
