Since I keep linking to his site, I should point people to the Salam Pax controversy raging over at Little Green Footballs, among many other blogs. A Candian journalist just published a piece arguing that Pax is a spoiled Ba'athist child, shilling for Saddam, who's jerked fawning Western readers around by the nose. The evidence that he comes from a privileged Ba'athist family is hard to deny. But the rest is sheer speculation. Just because he doesn't like how the U.S. has gone about its war, and says so on his blog — which has been harsh on Saddam in a free, sarcastic way I doubt Saddam would have tolerated — doesn't mean he's a spy.
