Uncle Abu Nabil, just arrived from Baghdad, via Erbil. He had much to tell us (...) - Baghdad in the past 6 months has changed even more. The road from the Airport to central Baghdad is unrecognizable. I asked the driver, "why have you taken a different route" to which he replied "It is not. That is the same route. I did not recognize it anymore." - There are concrete blocks, checkpoints, barbed wires, walls EVERYWHERE. Authorizations from BOTH the militias and the American forces are demanded to move from one neighborhood to another. - The streets have become garbage containers.

Some have sought refuge in Erbil and most have escaped outside the country....
