A friend who recently returned from Baghdad brought me an unusual souvenir: a "visual language survival guide" used by coalition soldiers. It's a sort of show-and-tell folding map intended for both soldiers and private contractors working in Iraq -- with lots of little pictures you can point to in front of an Iraqi person to say things like "is the improvised explosive device hidden under the dead goat?" and "was the bomb maker planning manual or remote detonation?"

Don't speak Farsi or Iraqi Arabic? Need to tell a prisoner to drop trou and get horizontal beneath your boot, pronto? Point to the infographic.
 
Oh man ... Can anyone post those humour-injected versions of the Patriotic Citizens Advice leaflets the US Govt. ejaculated some time after 9-11? EG: If you see a terrorist, hide under a table and fellate yourself until kingdom come, etc. etc.

Those made me cry ...
