Amy Ridenour occasionally posts emails she receives from Joe Roche, a soldier with the 16th Engineers (1st Armored Division). The unit was directly involved in the battles against Muqtada Al-Sadr. His most recent correspondence is worth reading in full, as it describes the conflict with a level of detail I haven't seen elsewhere. An archive of his emails can be found here.
