Her brief sketches of this visit to Iraq are on her blog She clearly has a great deal more to say when she has the time back in Rome to go though all notes she’s taken:

2/16 “I have almost filled one notebook today and my head is swimming with names and facts and Chaldean history and local history and politics. My mind and heart are filled with stories of the joys and sufferings and hopes and dreams of the priests and nuns who work here.”
"…As I always do when I travel, I had hoped to bring you a lively daily accounting of my visits, of my conversations, of the sights and sounds of a land and its people, accompanied by photos. I now realize that the rich and colorful tapestry I hope to weave on this journey will be difficult to do at only a few sittings, writing only a few columns. It is a story that must be told in its entirety and that may take me longer than the days I have for this journey.
