The Best of the Blogs currently up at the Pajamas site is worth more than the usual mention. It is an interview with Lisa Ramaci by Fayrouz Hancock of the Iraqi in America blog. Lisa, whom I had the honor of meeting at the Pajamas/OSM launch in New York, is the widow of the superb American journalist Steven Vincent who was murdered in Basra last August. She is an extraordinary woman in her own right.

Thanks for that link to an interview with Lisa Ramaci.
As Fayrouz remarked, Lisa and Steven’s story is indeed a love story.

Dec 9, 2005 - 5:25 pm 4. Maggie:Thanks, Roger. That is a wonderful interview. I tried to post a comment on Fay’s blog, made 5 attempts, and it just wouldn’t log me into my blogger account. Watch this, I’ll go back and there’ll be 5 comments from me. lol
But seriously, what a brave woman. My heart aches for her.
