Dahr Jamail's Back In Iraq

His first article since returning.

Baghdad today, on the eve of provincial elections, feels like it has emerged from several years of horrendous violence, but do not be misled. Every Iraqi I’ve spoken with feels it is tenuous, the still-fragile lull too young to trust.

Most journalists and I hesitate to give most of them that title have left and Iraq is no longer a story. I'm glad to see Jamail's viewpoint first hand. This place is a powder keg.
