• July 16 -- "Fed
Up" Iraqis "Dreaming of Getting Out"
The front page passes on another negative look from Somini Sengupta about
post-Hussein Iraq: "Jobless, rattled, fed up, Iraqis are dreaming of
getting out." But some are actually trying to get back in.
• June 28 -- "Everyone
Lives In Fear" Now That Saddam's Gone
Somini Sengupta files a story on girls living in fear in Iraq--fear that has
increased with the fall of Saddam Hussein: "Everyone lives in fear….Fear
eats at everyone here, but in a conservative society where daughters are already
governed by stricter rules than sons, adolescent girls find themselves
particularly vulnerable." Apparently no one was "fearful" under
Saddam.

• July 30 --
Yankee Come Here!
After lamenting the “rush to war” in Iraq, the Times wants U.S. troops in
Liberia yesterday. The headline to Somini Sengupta’s story from Monrovia is
headlined: “Oh, if Only the G.I.’s Would Come Marching In.” She also suggests
the U.S. wasn’t wanted in Iraq.
