This site is taking a break for a couple of weeks while the editor works on his tan ... and putting stroke. See you again on Monday, August 18th.
If you've been coming here for Iraq-related news, may I suggest these other superb sites:
Juan Cole
Iraq analysis from University of Michigan history professor Juan Cole, with focus on the Shiites.
Iraq Democracy Watch
Edited by Vivion Vinson, this is a must-read resource that follows the money (or lack of it), as well as the number of groups that want to kill Americans.
No More Mister Nice Blog
NMMNB covers a lot more than Iraq, but always finds an article or two that no one else does.
Cursor
Well, you just need to read this site every day. Simply the best damn site on the Web.
