We hear a lot of bad news from Iraq, but the refugee crisis actually seems underreported. Fred Clark posts on the latest count of displaced Iraqis, along with the news that well-known Iraqi blogger Riverbend and her family have decided to leave Iraq. Their destination remains unknown. They’re going to try to head to Syria or Jordan en route to somewhere that isn’t already full of Iraqi refugees. America will probably not be her ultimate destination, as the US has issued only 466 visas to Iraqis to Iraqis since the invasion.
