Missed It: Salman Abed Resurfaces

I sort of assumed that Iraqi cartoonist Salman Abed was back at work after running afoul of security forces in Iraq back in April. This article sums up some of the back and forth that had taken place, starting with some of the cartoonist's cartoons being confiscated at a street fair. My understanding is that he went into hiding for a brief time and that his home was ransacked, although I quickly lost track. This story indicates that Abed is still drawing and still speaking out about the importance of an Iraqi free press, which is happy news on a Monday, expected or not.

Here is the original Abed story from last Spring.
