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 Afghan bloggers. This week we
   have violence against women in Afghanistan, a phone call, politics in
   Iraq, and much, much more.

   One personal observation before I start the Carnival: the posts from
   the Iraqi blogosphere by and large don't have the desparate quality
   they had a few weeks ago. Make of that what you will.

   [1]Afghan Lord (who won a Freedom of Expression blog award last year
   from Reporters Without Borders) reports on the plight of women in
   Afghanistan. Photo montage.

   [2]3eeraimedic posts a phone conversation with mom and dad in
   Baghdad--how bad it was, what it's like now.

   There's a video report on holiday drumming from [3]Alive in Baghdad.

   [4]Baghdad Connect tells me about something I don't know: that there's
   a program for gifted Iraqi students to study in the U. S. Anybody know
   anything of such a program?

   [5]Children's Voice from Iraq has a rather uncharacteristic post in
   which he cites Iranians, Syrians, Jordanians, Saudis, Yemenis,
   Palestinians, and Kuwaitis for killing Iraqi kids and making them
   orphans.

   [6]Sunshine has a long, rambling post about visiting a village outside
   Mosul, a der (church? monstastery? shrine?), violence in Mosul, and
   more. Worth reading. Pictures. Video.

   [7]Emotions... reports on an attack near her home.

   Omar of [8]Iraq the Model posts on political developments in Iraq.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [9]The Glittering Eye.
   The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
