Hello linkbar

There's a news site focused entirely on Iraq. As the creator says, it's the story of our time (and er, that's not the creator of course, though I don't suppose they would mind -- I mean, I have to be deliberately vauge there because you never know what the gender of the creator is, if in fact there is one -- oh hell, just read it).

... One of the site’s unique and most valuable services is a daily roundup of news from Iraqi newspapers that few in the U.S. media have ever bothered to translate. ... When have you ever seen coverage of what’s dominating the front page of the U.S. military’s Camp Victory paper, the Victory Times?

...

Taking a page from Slate, the site will offer a morning roundup of stories in U.S. papers. At the same time, it will present in-depth profiles of little-covered Iraqi cities. Up right now: a look at Hawija. Another item on the site wonders why the Iraq Study Group report said there were 5000 contractors in Iraq when the Pentagon has claimed 100,000. And surely it is the only site featuring the Kirkuk Police Blotter.

Sounds interesting.
