Iraqi Journalist Flees to Egypt by Peter Kenyon

"Hayat is his professional name. One he adopted years ago to protect his family from vengence attacks. First from Saddam Hussein's hench men. And now from the new Shiite led Iraqi government. Hayat has worked for a number of media outlets since the fall of Saddam Hussein. Most recently the Iraqiya Satellite channel. He says, he realized within days of showing up for work that Iraqiya was completely under the thumb of the religious shiites leading the U.S. backed government."
