   Welcome to the Carnival of the Liberated, a sampler of some of the
   best posts of the week from Iraqi and Afghani bloggers. This week
   we've a rather glum Carnival with a politician sentenced to death, a
   death in the family and an attack on a school, and much, much more.

   [1]Afghan Warrior notes that the intelligence chief of the Communist
   government that ruled Afghanistan between 1979 and 1992, imprisoned
   since then, has been sentenced to death. He concludes with a plea for
   clemency.

   Aunt Najma of [2]A Star from Mosul reports a sad juxtaposition: her
   great-uncle has died, apparently killed by U. S. forces, and her
   school was struck by a mortar. There are additional takes on the same
   stories from family members Sunshine of [3]Days of My Life, [4]hnk,
   and Mama of [5]Emotions.... As you can imagine, they're pretty upset.
   [6]Sanyora and [7]The Grandson report on the school attack, too.

   Now Omer is watching cartoons. From [8]Children's Voice from Iraq.

   Ali of [9]A Free Iraqi has been posting up a storm lately,
   particularly about sectarian violence. The linked post is about the
   Moqtada al-Sadr's rising level of anti-Sunni and anti-American
   rhetoric.

   [10]Freedom of Mind tries to put terrorism and Saddam's regime in
   perspective.

   [11]From Me With Love wonders if higher education isn't disappearing
   from Iraq. The educated have greater mobility and can get more
   education and jobs outside of Iraq.

   [12]Hammorabi reports on the attacks in Sadr City
   . I haven't linked to it but there's a rumor going around that it was
   the work of the Americans. Mohammed of [13]Iraq the Model reports on
   the security situation in Baghdad, too.

   [14]Sooni, back from hiatus, has a very interesting post from a
   women's prison with pictures.

   [15]Truth About Iraqis writes about the murder of American pacifist
   Tom Fox by terrorists in Iraq.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [16]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
