It may or may not be real. But these things can be tricky. Take a look at this blog which fooled the New York Times. http://www.rootnode.org/article.php?sid=26

I agree that these blogs can be tricky, especially when the person writing is purported to be from a country with a dictatorial regime (i.e., what's the hidden agenda and is it just the CIA planting a blog?).
However, this blog is probably the most popular on Blogspot. You can be sure that they could authenticate the IP coming from Iraq.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

So people question the veracity of it solely because some of what this person says disagrees with thier pre-set notions of what an Iraqi should be saying?

We question because many, many reporters have been trying to interview this person in Iraq and some how he's just never available.
If you have questions about our motivations then please ask us instead of calling people names.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Better not trust the web anymore either...

Sorry, that doesn't fly. People are indeed dismissing it because they don't like everything it has to say.Last edited by Edan; May 8, 2003, 21:01."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.
