The Carnival of the Liberated

   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 got more fraud, forming a new government, tragedies, new Iraqi
   blogs, and much, much more.

   Mama of [1]Emotions... has a heart-rending story of extracting a
   tooth.

   Although fraudulent reports of [2]atrocities may be rapidly debunked,
   their real harm is that they will be reported as true forever by folks
   like [3]Imad Khadduri.

   I was rather surprised at the lack of comment on the announcement of
   the [4]forming of a new government in Iraq on Saturday from the Iraqi
   blogosphere. Not a good sign. Mohammed of [5]Iraq the Model does put
   in his two cents, however. Ishtar of [6]Iraqi Screen weighs in on the
   story. [7]neurotic iraqi wife isn't too pleased with the performance
   of the Iraqi government so far.

   Iraqi Screen continues to have lots of good stuff. I found [8]this
   perspective on sectarian war in Iraq particularly interesting: she
   believes you can mark the beginning of sectarian war in Iraq from the
   start of Saddam's trial. The start of sectarian war or the beginning
   of the counter-attack by Kurds and Shi'a?

   [9]Iraqi Roulette posts a profound truth: at some point the
   accumulating tragedies cease to be tragedies, they just are.

   [10]Treasure of Baghdad has some really horrifying stories. One is
   particularly ghastly: a story of groups of people purportedly from the
   health ministry poisoning children when "inoculating" them.

   There are several new Iraqi bloggers (at least new to me). Take a look
   at Meemo at [11]Show Time. Hat tip: [12]Asterism. I don't know where
   [13]Thought Riot is blogging from (I suspect the United States) but
   she's apparently Iraqi. Hat tip: [14]Where Date Palms Grow. At this
   point [15]Baghdad Connect appears to be a news aggregator. Hat tip:
   [16]Iraq Blog Count.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [17]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
