The Mighty Tim Blair, that is. I've no idea how I missed this; I normally read Blair obsessively. At any rate, he graciously turned his column in The Bulletin (Australia) over to a trio of Iraqi bloggers last week, and the results are facinating.
As Jeff Jarvis observes,
[B]ig-time American journos should be ashamed of themselves they didn't think of this first. It has been there, on the web, right under their noses, all along.
Kudos to the Mighty Tim for this idea. The guys at Iraq the Model give me hope for the future of Iraq.
And what's so funny about them is that some people thought they are CIA/US plants, etc. without bothering to read the blog. Because if they had they would have seen the PICTURES of the trio celebrating the handover with a cake inside their hospital.
Of course that could have been yet another dastardly trick by those evil americans. My we are so sneaky.
Under their noses but beneath their notice.

RE: Management Issues
Tim Blair would be better served by someone other than his current blog manager.
She's overly sensitive and does not take effective criticism well.
