Night in Iraq

ø

I got distracted and lost track of the time. The sun went down in Iraq perhaps four or five hours ago.
Editor and Publisher has posted about the so far fruitless attempts to rescue Jill. To readers of Al Jazeera and ‘the guy by the door’ this is not news. Musafir picked up on the Monitor’s coverage of Allan Enwiya, the Iraqi interpreter [2nd story down] killed when Jill was abducted. Musafir adds background from Riverbend’s Baghdad Burning. Riverbend knew Allan and fondly remembers him in his January 12 post Thank You for the Music... It seems Allan loved his wife, his young children, his community and Pink Floyd.

The blog Mia Culpa has a vigil for Jill.
