#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.

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

#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."
