Yes really!

This guy has been in no more danger than any other reporter. He clearly lived at the reporters hotel and is a American.

Like I said to Tom - show me "Salam" in front of a camera speaking in this glorious Americanized English and show me his Iraqi passport with his residence. Anything less is just part of the scam.

It's no surprise that Europe and the Guardian has embraced this "Salam" - but I cringe at the obvious and blatant deception. Any reporter can take a camera and create an Iraq photoblog and talk about the things he sees first person and has learned while being there.

It's amazing this guy's blog didn't exist before the major reporter wave hit Baghdad in September 2002? And big surprise he "works" for a reporter? And he speaks perfect English....so conveniently he is Peter Maass' interpreter?

The guy's an American who arrived in 2002. He's not lived under the Saddam regime for more than the few months before the US kicked out the Baathists from power.

But believe what you want. That's the joy of the internet.
