From Global Voices Online:

Blogger Khalid Jarrar, author of Secrets in Baghdad, remains in custody of the Iraqi intelligence service, known as the Mukhabarat.

As we reported yesterday, Khalid’s brother Raed says their family was relieved to hear on Thursday morning that Khalid is still alive after going missing for two days. On Sunday, Khalid described on his blog how his apartment in Baghdad had been broken into and his hard drive was stolen. Soon after that he disappeared…

Having read a few of Khalid’s blog entries there is nothing in them to suggest that he is anything more than an ordinary Iraqi who’s a bit pissed off with seeing his country shot to shit under US occupation and if the US and the fledgling Iraqi government want to convince us that everything will turn out for the best then the very least they can do is apply habeas corpus.
