Curious developments at McClatchy's Baghdad Bureau. The Baghdad bureau chief, Leila Fadel, recently blogged that she would be gone for one month. She did not provide any further explanation on the web site, and she did not respond to an email I sent her.
Her replacement was not announced on McClatchy's web site. Jay Price and Nancy Youssef are listed as the authors of recent articles from Baghdad. Is an "acting bureau chief" in place?
McClatchy seems to be keeping some important information from their readers.
