Wow. What an incredible report. This ought to be in print and read by a much larger audience.
I, too, learned more about the recent history of ISIS campaigns from this report than from any news article. Bravo, DanielW, and may your next trip be to safer climes ^

Wow. What an amazing and stunning report. Hands down the most captivating TR I've read.
I agree and was thinking the exact same thing. This should be published.

would it be useful or reasonably cautious to hide some interiors (like the map above) from other intelligence agencies or groups?

Amazing, sobering, enlightening trip report. Bravo, DanielW!
I'm impressed at your resourcefulness in organising this trip, and also the calibre of people that you got to talk to. You reference needing a media pass - were you there with the intention of writing a journal or publishing the photographs professionally, or was there some other reason (e.g. going as a journalist was the only way to get in)? If the former, I'd love to see the finished product

Definitely the best report I've read on FT ever.
Seeing the people first hand, the suffering, and yet still not giving up is an incredible thing. Hopefully the US will continue to help.
