The first obvious question though, and I admit it occurred to me: Is Salam Pax (not his real name) <em>really</em> posting from Baghdad? According to Paul Boutin, a technology writer for Slate, Wired, The New York Times, Salon and others, <a title="Paul Boutin : Q: Is the Baghdad Blogger for real?" href="http://paulboutin.weblogger.com/2003/03/20">yes</a>.</p> <p>In the face of the tarrantellism of the war-dance, skepticism is a precious commodity, but I have to agree with Paul that Salam's knowing more about what's on Iraqi radio than the <span class="caps">BBC </span>was a pretty powerful bit of pursuasion. Paul fact-checked Salam's backside on a few more issues, and he's come out clean on them all, and considering the frankness of his views, he doesn't seem particularly <span class="caps">CIA</span>-like.</p> http://blog.teledyn.com/node/703#comments there are verses about this Thu, 20 Mar 2003 20:35:31 -0500 mrG 703 at http://blog.teledyn.com
