Evidently technical and licensing problems are preventing the installation of the webcams themselves so far, though there is a journalist who is sending out daily photos which are being posted on this site at http://www.webcaminiraq.org. There also seems to be information and pics at the following domain: http://www.waitingforthewebcaminiraq.org And an explanation of some of the difficulties in obtaining a "webcam license" from the Baghdad authorities, who are evidently indicating some suspicion about the use of the webcam, here: http://www.webcaminiraq.org/estado_english.htm The WebCamInIraq site seems to be posted by Spanish journalists, with text in either Spanish or (moderately understandable) English. At least it's a daily pic update though! Thanks to Mr. Kobeissi of Asharq Al-Awsat for the info and links! Webcam in Iraq Project |
