I finally located a station that was broadcasting in Arabic and heard that Saddam may have been caught.

Not meant to be a flame at all.... but how can this guy have a blog if he doesn't have electricity? Does he use a cybercafe?

...and yes, that and messages to proxies who post for her...

I posted about a different one yesterday which is called healing iraq. Here's the link: http://healingiraq.blogspot.com/ This person is for the occupation. Anyway, many people have questioned Riverbend's authenticity, but I've been reading her blog since August and find it to be very credible.
