NOTES ON A 6-MONTH OLD CNN ARTICLE: I'd just run across a link to this CNN piece on Salam Pax. Interesting points: (1) author Avril Stephens (who I'll go easy on, as she sounds from her first name like a coethnic of yers truly) inventively manages to misspell 'blog', continually referring to Salam Pax's product as a 'log', (2) it's interesting, in light of the recent discussion on the conspicuous lack of female bloggers, that according to Avril anyway a full 40 percent of Iraqi bloggers are women (i.e., 2 out of the 5); and (3) Salam Pax has apparently been fielding emails from Iraqis ever since the end of the war asking how to download porn. Looks like they took that 'democracy, whisky, and sexy' thing seriously....
