   Welcome to the Carnival of the Liberated, a sampler of some of the
   best posts of the week from Iraqi and Afghan bloggers. This week we a
   meeting, a rumor, some discouraging pictures, and much, much more.

   [1]An Iraqi Tear thinks things are going just as the U. S. planned in
   Iraq.

   There's a rumor flying around that Abu Deraa, sort of the Mahdi Army's
   version of Zarqawi, has been killed. [2]Roads to Iraq has something of
   a report. It can't be considered anything but a rumor at this
   pointâIslamemo isn't a very reliable source--it's basically a
   propaganda and disinformation site. [3]Treasure of Baghdad has an
   excellent backgrounder on Abu Deraa if you're interested in more
   information.

   [4]Iraqi Konfused Kid points out that arguments about Iraqi unity are
   nothing new--they go back to the 8^th century (or before).

   Ishtar of [5]Iraqi Screen posts on the influence of Iran in today's
   Iraq.

   [6]Dr. Hanoudi posts on the soon-to-be-released report from the Iraq
   Study Group, headed by James Baker.

   [7]Iraqi Roulette posts on the end of the curfew in Baghdad.

   [8]The Mesopotamian notes the significance of the meeting between
   Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim and the the U. S.

   Fatima of [9]Thoughts from Baghdad posts some discouraging pictures.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [10]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
