   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've
   got the wall, a mentor, a cousin, and more.

   [1]Attawie bids farewell to a beloved mentor.

   [2]Roads to Iraq has been complaining a lot recently about the closing
   of the disinformation site, Islammemo. I have mixed feelings. Does
   freedom of the speech and of the press include spreading outright
   lies?

   [3]Hammorabi proclaims "the surge" a failure.

   Probably the biggest topic in the Iraqi blogosphere this week has been
   the construction of "the Wall"--a security barrier in the Adhamiya
   neighborhood. Few really had much to say about it other than
   expressing opposition. Omar of [4]Iraq the Model puts in his two
   cents. [5]anarki-13's comments are here.

   [6]The Mesopotamian proposes a "middle way" for the United States
   between the extremes of withdrawal and "the surge".

   Fatima of [7]Thoughts from Baghdad has learned the fate of her cousin,
   Bilal, kidnapped last week. He's been murdered.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [8]The Glittering Eye.
   The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
