time where I recall her being most emotional had been July, regarding the Iraq national football team, 2007 AFC Asian Cup (soccer).

The last sentence, "Before becoming a reporter, Damon was a senior executive for a textile manufacturer," kind of bothers me. Is this accurate? Was she a "senior" executive between graduating from college and becoming a journalist in her early twenties? A quick web-search of biographical information on her does not reveal anything of this nature. An earlier version of this article said she was head of US operations for a Turkish textile manufacturer, but "Daysleeper" changed this to a more vague statement in its current form. I'm tempted to delete it, but heck, it could be true, although the phrase "senior executive" is hard to believe given her age at the time. Canadian2006 (talk) 19:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I was merely cleaning up the article and perhaps took a liberty with the word "senior". I have since removed it. I have found no outside verification of this, so feel free to delete. Be bold. --Daysleeper47 (talk) 20:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
