Where can I find detailed information on the internet about specific Iraqi tribes?

I'm doing a project where I have to do a briefing on an Iraqi tribe. It can be any tribe, but I need to be able to brief about their politics, religion, culture, social makeup, etc.

I've found plenty of listings of tribes, but I need somewhere I can get good, detailed information on an Iraqi tribe. Before you ask, it can't be from Wikipedia!

Does anyone know any resources for this type of information? I'd really appreciate your help, MeFi community!

Steven Pressfield's blog may help.

This PDF shows the names of the tribes in Iraq and their locations. That should help get you started.
