Riverbend Lives! Baghdad Burning is Back!!

I just visited Baghdad Burning and River is up and running again.

If only the Corporate Media would publish River's words about Iraq to add some much meeded perspective to balance out the Bush and Corporate Propaganda that floods America's media.

Thank Heavens for the internet. This post is a must read. Read it here

Riverbend still MIA

The United Nations Refugee Agency estimates that 365,000 Iraqi's leave Iraq each year. Source

It's been 10 weeks and one day since Riverbend last blogged. I hope she's busy relocating in a safer place and is not one of the 650,000 Iraqi civilian causalties. She has given all of us, worldwide, an un-embedded view of reality in Iraq.

I trust Riverbend's version not not the "Bushworld" delusion. I am checking her blog daily and hope to see another post soon.

Riverbend of Baghdad Burning still MIA....

If you aren't familiar with River you should be. Her blog--Baghdad Burning--should be read by all Americans.

Recently, The Diplomatic Times Review, Smirking Chimp, talk nation, and various blogs are asking where Riverbend is. There has been no word, despite inquiries, concerning River.

She remains missing in action. I pray that she and her family have been occupied with making it to a safe place. Hopefully we will hear something soon....It is not looking good at the moment.

Where is Riverbend the Baghdad Burning Blogger?

I'm getting anxious. I've visited the Baghdad Burning blog once again and there are no new posts since August 5, 2006.

Riverbend is the Baghdad Burning Blogger "...... I'll meet you 'round the bend my friend, where hearts can heal and souls can mend..."

River became famous and a book was published of her blogs.

Now River is silent. I'm worried that our River may no longer be alive. I sent River an email; I hope I get a reply.

River has posted every month consistently since 8/01/03 except for one lapse in August 2005. River disappeared for an "unannounced" blogging vacation for an eight week period.

I three days it will be 10 weeks since River's last post.

Rivers last post ended with these words:

I sometimes wonder if we’ll ever know just how many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis left the country this bleak summer. I wonder how many of them will actually return. Where will they go? What will they do with themselves? Is it time to follow? Is it time to wash our hands of the country and try to find a stable life somewhere else?
