Is Salam Pax Real?

There’s a big fuss about whether Salam Pax, the pseu­do­ny­mous author of Where is Raed?, is post­ing from inside Iraq or not. The answer, after some rather flimsy research, is ‘prob­a­bly.’

I’ve been read­ing the site for a couple of weeks, and am pretty sure it’s gen­uine, but only from little things like his asser­tion, con­trary to BBC reports at the time, that state radio sta­tions in Iraq are still broad­cast­ing. I’m cer­tainly not look­ing for­ward to the day he (inevitably?) stops post­ing, but then a lot of people said the same of Kaycee Nicole.
