One of the greatest things about the internet is its total lack of censorship, and the ability for anyone to have their voice be heard. Youtube has really helped things along, and I ran across a series of "episodes" filmed by some Iraqis that live in Baghdad. It's interesting to see and hear about how things are over there without the news media bias in place. The direction resembles that of a reality series or something, only this really is the real thing and not some American TV studio production. Just a few videos of note:
