   Welcome to the Carnival of the Liberated, a sampler of some of the
   best posts of the week from Iraqi and Afghan bloggers. It's been a
   while since I posted the last CotL, mostly because the Afghan and
   Iraqi blogospheres have been so very quiet lately. Most of the recent
   posts have been complaining about writer's block. Still, there are a
   few things I thought you might be interested in.

   [1]Sanjar makes an extremely interesting observation: as the amount of
   aid money from developed to developing countries grows it creates a
   niche for for-profit aid organization. This, in turn, may crowd out
   not-for-profits.

   [2]A Citizen of Mosul reports that there have been official Health
   Ministry warnings of contaminated pharmaceuticals coming from Iran.
   Legit, disinformation, what?

   [3]Last-of-Iraqis reminisces.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [4]The Glittering Eye.
   The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
