Abu Wabu

Arthur Chrenkoff, James Taranto and Joe Katzman regularly serve up the amazing Good News From Iraq. It's amazing because the good news is so good, and because Arthur Chrenkoff is the most thorough chronicler of the subject. It must be a ton of work, because it takes ages just to read through Chrenkoff's comments and excerpts, which become mere notes compared to the explosion of revelatory information one finds through voluminous links. Some stories are of practical matters, such as reconstruction and security; others show Iraqis adapting to and growing into the gigantic edifice of their newborn freedom.

There is good news from Iraq. The stories are better than fascinating; they are heartening and hopeful.
