To find the likely female correspondent from this story, it can be inferred that "she", being notable and respected, must be at least in her thirty or forties. It should be possible to make a short list of a half dozen or so east coast magazines that cover international events, have the resources to send a journalist overseas and have a reputation as being big left wingers. Visiting each of their web sites and searching for recent Baghdad stories from female staff members it should be possible to narrow the list to two or three likely candidates. I'm open to suggestion on then how to narrow the list down to one name, but it's a start.
