Read what "ordinary" Iraqis are saying about the prisoner abuse scandal
Oman at the very fine IRAQ THE MODEL should be a regular read for everyone, but his post today on the reaction of real Iraqis to the alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. military guards is definitely a must!
Also, he muses about the mood in the country nowadays and how his fellow citizens are looking forward to democracy and the handover on June 30.
All in all, I can say that reading Omar's observations and thoughts, as well as several of the other Iraqi bloggers, always restores my faith in the goodness and decency of the Iraqi people and in my joy that we liberated these wonderful folks from a monster like Saddam.
Also, I'm thankful that we now have blogging and the Internet that makes it all possible!
(Why rely on the old, tired, schlerotic and biased traditional media when we get at the real news so much better on the web and often directly from the source too?)
