Middle East Blogs (Part II)
According to Iraq the Model there are now over 250 Iraqi blogs, his is one of them best. There is a touching story in RiverBend and it is an excellent blog. Neurotic Iraqi Wife is touching. I always find The Mesepotamian good reading and many of these sites have links to other Iraqi blogs. Unfortunately many are not updated regularly, but you'll get a good picture.
Just read in Hammorabi that "The big cockroach" Zarqawi has possibly been killed. He also reports that the local tribes organized themselves into brigades and fought alongside the Iraqi forces in Matador. He also mysteriously states "the doctor who treated him in Ramadi confessed that his injuries were more or less fatal". Interesting to get the picture from the locals directly, it may not be always factually accurate but you certainly can get a good feel for the real situation and often facts that aren't reported by the mainstream media until later, if at all.
