Rotting Bodies Spoil Baghdad's Taste for River Fish

"The fishermen who have relied on the Tigris for generations can still be seen casting nets beneath the city's bridges and beside the river's reed beds and sandbars. But these natural fish feeding points also snag floating corpses, and Baghdad 's river fishermen know the war has tainted their livelihoods as well. 'People have started to leave the fish of the river because of the bodies...the trade of fish has been totally changed,' said Yassir al-Qurayshi, 36, at a fish stall in the upscale Karrada neighbourhood of central Baghdad ." The thought that your dinner may have been just snacking on your friends and neighbors could surely affect the appetite....they surely are living well since we invaded to bring them "freedom."
