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
   have the al-Samarai case, the Lancet report, reports from Baghdad, and
   much more.

   [1]24 Steps to Liberty comments on the [2]al-Samarai case, in which a
   former Iraqi minister, tried and convicted of corruption, was seized
   by American troops on the grounds that he was an American citizen (he
   holds dual citizenship). A troubling case that hasn't received enough
   attention in the Western media or the blogosphere, for that matter.
   [3]Hammorabi comments on the case, too.

   The big story in the Iraqi blogosphere this week was the recent Lancet
   report of excess deaths in Iraq since 2003. [4]Baghdad Connect weighs
   in on the report. Omar of [5]Iraq the Model posts his reponse to the
   Lancet story. [6]Konfused Kollege Kid responds angrily to the ITM
   post. [7]My Not-So-Humble Opinion is equally critical of ITM.
   [8]Freedom of Mind posts a lament for the deaths. [9]neurotic iraqi
   wife is back in Iraq and believes the Lancet numbers.

   [10]Roads to Iraq has posted a number of times about the [11]fire and
   explosions in a U. S. ammo dump last week. Apparently, the stories
   going around in Iraq differ markedly from those that were reported in
   the Western media.

   [12]First words, first walk, first... in Iraq posts about a word that
   makes her blood boil: tomorrow.

   [13]Five Rings posts about what he learned about Ramadan.

   [14]Nabil reports from the Baghdad neighborhoods.

   [15]Thoughts from Baghdad recounts how Baghdad has changed for the
   worse over the last three months.

   Miriam of [16]Pearls of Iraq comments on Nobel Peace Prize winner
   Muhammed Yunus.

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