CNN SHOWCASE

US-Iraq-Father-Journey-Stokely -- By Moni Basu

Robert Stokely fired up his computer and began a journey to a place an ocean and continent away, to a land of parched earth and dusty brush not far from the banks of the Euphrates. Yusufiya. It is the Iraqi town where Robert's son Mike was killed on a hot August night in 2005. A place that haunted him. Robert showed me his Google Earth mapping ritual the first time I met him in his office in suburban Atlanta. It was almost a year after Mike's death, and he was tortured by the thought that he might die without ever seeing where his son fell. Now, when I meet him for lunch at a sports bar more than six years later, it is as though a great weight has been lifted.

POL-Broadwell-Profile

About four years ago, Paula Broadwell began her Ph.D. dissertation on Gen. David Petraeus' innovative leadership skills. Some of the interviews were done via e-mail. Others were conducted as Broadwell occasionally ran with the physically fit four-star, including one time with Petraeus and his team along the Potomac River in Washington. Broadwell decided to turn that research into a book and go to Afghanistan after Petraeus was tapped in June 2010 to replace Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the top commander in the country. "We had a relationship before I went there as far as this dissertation was concerned, so it just took it to another level," Broadwell told CNN's Brooke Baldwin in February.
