The news from Iraq remains under-reported. Three days ago, terrorists succeeded in bombing the house of Mital Al-Alusi, the courageous member of parliament who, in 2004, nearly signed his own death-warrant by urging that Iraq recognize Israel. Many attacks have been made on him since and one of them killed his two sons and a driver. There is no word yet on what has happened in the latest attack to Mr. Al-Alusi's wife and grandchildren.
Meanwhile, the best reporting by Iraqis comes, as it often does, from Iraq the Model website. Here it describes the domestic politics in Iraq had a lot to do with the Iraqis' reactions to the visit of Barack Obama.
