Last night in Australia we were privileged to watch an interview with Salam Pax, the "Baghdad Blogger."

This would be the closest by far to an unbiased account of events in Baghdad and Iraq from before the war and up to the present time. This man expressed no hatred or anger either toward Hussein or the liberators/occupiers. He just described his feelings and thoughts about the whole situation.

The transcript of this interview is not (at the time of writing this) yet posted on the website, but no doubt will be shortly.

He Jules, I'm sure the comments were worthy of discussion but so far we are all left in the dark.

The website offers nothing for me to bitch and complain about, nothing to cheer on or anything.

SO therefore you are about as eager to jump the gun as GWB was in Iraq. Did they offer you something? Oil maybe? LOL.

Anyhow, keep me posted when ad if the full transcript is posted.

Cheers M8,
OM

I can't answer that one as the trsnscript of the interview with the other guest on the same program, John Travolta, was posted immediately. However, for some strange reason, the interview is available in the Sydney Morning Herald archives.

Anhow they're making a film about Salam Pax, so you will learn about him eventually.
