(for the non-geek-attuned, that's technolese for the list of links on the side of the webpage), but it turned out to be a fairly short but illuminating account of a New Zealand woman who worked in Baghdad wiring a theatre, recommended by Salam Pax. Since she was there only a few days, it's brief, but still have a look: Wires - A girl, a toolkit, Iraq. The comments are particularly illuminating in how people from different areas of the world view this war. I must say, she's got chutzpah--braving Iraq and scathing web surfers. :) On their way back, they ran into trouble at Fallujah (which is now infamous in the media) and were able to escape similar problems only through the work of their driver and fixer.
You also may want to check out a companion account by one of her co-workers.
