Per ace twitter account,
Wendy Acho, Ninevah Plains, Iraq, she's got to be Christian, writes like an American often (despite the little description of oneself). Tweets all kinds of stuff, sometimes, one might wonder if a group of people are behind some twitter accounts, as if it is that important. I think she's an aspiring journalist and probably should get TV gigs like others do. Well done Wendy.
