The Baghdad Bulletin

Well now. Here's an English-language independent semi-weekly (soon to be weekly, the publisher hopes) newsmagazine published in Baghdad. Its mission: "The Baghdad Bulletin is committed to covering the issues surrounding the redevelopment of Iraq after Saddam Hussein's rule."

That's a positive development, I'd say; it provides voices from the ground. The content is pretty sparse at the moment, but we'll see. It has sections for Baghdad, Basrah, Kirkuk, and Mosul; there's nothing for Basrah yet, but they appear to be working on it. If you, like me, have been wondering why it's taken so long to get power back up and running, check out the "Utilities" section.
