About Notebook: Iraq
Do you ever wonder about what goes into a foreign correspondent's notebook, but never gets mentioned in the stories you read? And what about the stuff that doesn't even make it into the notebook? Our correspondents in Iraq have experiences, observations, ideas, and reflections that readers never get to see. Until now.

From accounts of being escorted through mobs of celebrating pilgrims by bodyguards of a Shiite militia group in the holy city of Karbala to encounters with unruly Western private security contractors, this blog aims to give readers an inside look at the work of our correspondents in Iraq.

Notebook: Iraq is written by Monitor correspondents.
