I’m not sure if any of you have been following this on [cnn.com](http://cnn.com), but the full articles over at the christian science monitor had a lot more details. Regardless of what you think of her for being over there (personally, I think it was stupid), this was an amazing read and a real good look inside the insurgency. It’s long, 10 parts, but worth it if you have some free time. [http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0814/p01s01-woiq.html](http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0814/p01s01-woiq.html) ---

I’ve followed a little bit of it… eh, same story just by a different journalist. at least she’s alive and back though. ---
