"Dahr Jamail is Baghdad correspondent for The NewStandard. He is an Alaskan devoted to covering the untold stories from occupied Iraq. You can help Dahr continue his crucial work in Iraq by making donations. For more information or to donate to Dahr, visit The NewStandard."

IMHO, this looks like a sleeper who has been activated to post these fantasy stories via internet blogs.

Dar Jamail is not a sleeper he is an expatriot seeker. He is attracted to the romantic notions of Islam and jihad to acquire a heroic image that he lacked before he "went native" like some colonial Brits used to do. The guise of reporter gives him access and thus the self-importance he needs. I think we're all smart enough to see past the b.s.
