Must See TV: Dr. Muoyad on "Nightline"

Recall that in a prior post, GraniteGrok's milblogger, Maj Kirk, wrote of Dr. Muoyad, who he calls a "true Iraqi patriot":
Muoyad, a member of the sizeable Sunni Jubori clan, is a cardiologist by trade, a medical doctor who once successfully treated one of Saddam Hussein’s sons (Uday) for a gunshot wound during one of the several attempts made on the eldest Hussein’s life before he was killed by U.S. forces in July 2003.
He has lived in Dora for much of his life, and while it took us awhile to discover Muoyad’s influence and abilities as a uniter, not a divider of his people, he has become a symbol of the progress being made in his neighborhood.Not one attack has been launched against U.S. or Iraqi Security Forces in the area since September, 2007 and under Muoyad’s guiding hand, the streets are clean, electricity and power runs nearly 24 hours a day,
Major Kirk sends the following alert:
Wednesday's Nightline will feature a series called "Where we stand" and this week's feature story is about Dr. Moayad, the Iraqi patriot I blogged about. I was there with the crew when they came down to the do the interview and shoot footage- I think it will be a very good piece.
It airs tonight on "Nightline" at 11:30pm EST. Should be interesting to watch network coverage of something we've had the inside scoop on here at the 'Grok. Thanks Kirk!
