A new post today, from Salam Pax, for the first time since March 24th! Click the source link.

I don't know if you've ever read this blog... it's really interesting. I don't know how authentic it is, but it's definitely interesting.. check it out.

It certainly sounds authentic.

[AM2000]

It sure does. Read through the various entries from the MS Word file, bottom to top.. notice how his feelings towards the US change over time... now this is what real stories are made of. The American blogger who's posting on behalf of Salam Pax (Diana) has gotta write a book on this one day...

[Dog Gone]

Yes, I realized too late that reading bottom to top was the easist way to enjoy this.

I'll be checking back on a daily basis.

[AM2000]

Bear in mind that he said he "might be able to update the blog every week or two"... I'd imagine things won't be "normal" in Iraq for quite a while...

Thanks for the link.

[neither-nor]

Thanks for the ping. Now I really want to know who this guy is! Do you see magazine, television, wire services now descending in hordes on Salam?

I do!

[IndianChief]

Thanks for the ping. Will check it out.

I thought there were many amusing pieces in the blog. Here is one:

The irony, during the last couple of weeks in this big media festival called ‘Iraq War’ there is not a single Iraqi voice.

A conversation overheard by G. while in the Meridian Hotel – the Iraqi media center :

Female journalist 1: oh honey how are you? I haven’t seen you for ages.

Female journalist 2: I think the last time was in Kabul.

Bla bla bla

Bla bla bla

Female journalist 1: have to run now, see you in Pyongyang then, eh?

Female journalist 2: absolutely.

Iraq is taken out of the headlines. The search for the next conflict is on. Maybe if it turns out to be Syria the news networks won’t have to pay too much in travel costs.
