I'd really like to look at that, but then I have the risk of the government tracking my cookies.

Maybe you can just copy and paste?

These points interested me:
Oil - exports: 1.42 million bbl/day (2005 est.)

Current account balance: -$9.447 billion (2004 est.)

Disputes - international: coalition forces assist Iraqis in monitoring boundary security; Iraq's lack of a maritime boundary with Iran prompts jurisdiction disputes beyond the mouth of the Shatt al Arab in the Persian Gulf; Turkey has expressed concern over the status of Kurds in Iraq

They failed to mention the bullets and mortar fire here:
Natural hazards: dust storms, sandstorms, floods
