“Grandma in Iraq” is ceasing publication.
Amid criticism, the Cincinnati Enquirer-hosted blog on U.S. reconstruction efforts in Iraq, written by Suzanne Fournier, Army Corps of Engineers Public Affairs Officer, is being taken down. Enquirer editor Tom Callinan said he wasn’t responding to the bad press; the blog is coming down, he says, because Fournier’s tour is ending.
Callinan didn’t note precisely when her tour is ending, nor when the blog will cease to publish. Fournier’s most recent entry is dated April 6.
Fournier’s status as a flack and a newspaper blogger was first noted at TPMmuckraker.
