Ali’s blog, "Iraq the Model" is being quoted by Paul Wolfowitz
2004-03-19
Wow, I’m kind of surprised. Makes you wonder who’s reading your blog too Fred, most likely you have some visitors in high places...
AFTER the horrific March 2 bombing that killed 170 at Shi’a shrines in Baghdad and Karbala, one Iraqi had an answer for those in the West who wonder if such tactics can work. His words speak to the horror of the events in Spain last week and in Baghdad on Wednesday. His name is Ali and his Web log said this about the terrorists and their allies: "They are spitting in the face of the wind."
Btw, if you’ve never been to Iraq the Model then you should check it out.

#4  The BBC website's "Have Your Say" feature has a topic up on whether the Iraqis are better or worse off now than they were a year ago. The comments read like a Monthy Python script:

Iraqis: "We're much better off, you know."

Leftists: "No, you're not. F--- off."

One guy from France actually said that whether the Iraqis are better off was "a moot point."

My favorite comment was from Baghdad:

"When I was roughly searched by a soldier and complained, his officer came to my house to apologize, and did it in my language. I'd be dead for even complaining under Saddam."

#3  SH, those that need accurate information obviously do not go the CNN/BBC/AlJ route.

#1  I would guess that he has staffers sweeping the blogs or citizens forward links to him. The CPA may have someone monitor all the Iraqi blogs.
