Goodbye, Baghdad by Riverbend
'm finally leaving Iraq. But it's hard to decide which is more frightening: Car bombs and militias, or leaving everything you know and love.Editor's note: Baghdad Burning, the blog written by a young Iraqi woman named "Riverbend," has given readers around the world an intimate, and devastating, look at the situation in Iraq. Salon occasionally runs postings from her blog.

KEARNEY, you've convinced me you've done the work - it's authentic. I also think that you've been fair and thorough. I didn't get the sense that you were hiding your biases, or passing off other's work as your own. Or worse -- getting paid by those you cover -- so it's transparent and independent. I also think you deserve praise for being an eyewitness, and for your investigative efforts. Good stuff.
I've been with Riverbend for quite some while now ... via her blog
that is. I will her miss her... very much. I pray wherever it is she
finds landing, she will find peace ... and true joy. It is far better
that the likes of her and family survive the war and recount it for
posterity than for her reminiscences to be lost
for all times Thank you, kind Sir, for keeping us posted on the sad
travails of a most beautiful mind.
