CNN is running Al-Jazeera video of a gunbattle between armed gangs along the Green Line in Beirut — the border betwen Sunni and Shia sections of the Lebanese capital. Cal Perry is on the phone and rifle fire and RPG explosions can be heard in the background. Notes Perry (roughly), “I was in Baghdad for four years — and in Lebanon for only two days, and I already have my flak jacket on.”
