    Non-stop gunfire here for two full minutes. This is central Baghdad. The videos are coming out now after more than 24 hours of blackout because the internet came back sporadically a couple of hours agopic.twitter.com/fB6HPtVemA

        Huge anti-govt protests centered around corruption and joblessness but with lots of other stuff thrown in. Mass defiance of a govt curfew. It's bad.

        Actually there are lots of videos since yesterday. People were finding ways to post them and some were sending messages while other translated them to English and tagged news agencies like CNN and Reuters. I myself did retweeted some of these videos and tagged news agencies.

        Unfortunately American news agencies could care less about real news. They only have one agenda to divide Americans. Horrible what's happening in Iraq.
