Leila Fadel, writing for McClatchy, describes the life and death of an Iraqi reporter. Her story both inspires and saddens the reader, but in the end she is dead like so many other Iraqis because of George W Bush.
Khamael Muhsen, was a journalist with Radio Free Europe, the U.S.-government funded broadcaster. She'd been a famous television personality in Saddam Hussein's era.
