Riverbend's Writing Continues to Flow

Riverbend, the pseudonymn chosen by a young Iraqi woman, first came to my attention in August 2003.

As this inteview shows, her passion for sharing her experiences of everyday life in Baghdad, often at odds with the sanitised reports that appear in our media, continues unabated. And now a book of excerpts from her first year of blogging has been published.

To me, what could be a better example of the power of free speech that the internet and blogging enables.
