I'm worried and find it odd that Riverbend hasn't posted anything

in over 2 months.

Or am I missing something?

1. she does have a book out

let's check the amazon.com page and see if any comments there BRB. I wonder, she may have had to leave for safety.

4. Her last post was of gangs emptying neighborhoods and of

increased attacks against women. I sincerely hope her family has gone to a safe location with relatives in the country.

2. I worry too

Let's just hope she is safe and well.

3. funny you should ask that because on the local news this morning

they mentioned riverbend while they were talking about films or something, I didn't catch it all though.

5. Assuming that she is OK

(because we have nothing else to go on), she has probably ditched her computer and is keeping a very, very low profile along with all the other Iraqis who are trying to stay alive through this horrific phase of violence.

6. I'm glad to know that people are paying attention to the members

here on DU and notice when they mysteriously fall silent. I know this: If I just suddenly stop posting here, I want someone here to raise the red flag warning.

Paul Thompson? Will Pitt? You guys still there?

7. Will was just on Air America Radio few days ago. Seems well.

8. I was just thinking about her yesterday

And checked to see if she had updated recently. I haven't seen anything from her. I hope she updates soon. My heart breaks for all the people of Iraq.

9. I check every day for her

If she had left Baghdad for safety, I am sure that she would have somehow made contact and told the story. Everyday, when I hear of the many deaths of Iraqi citizens, I pray that she is not in that number.

This is the longest that she has ever gone without posting.
