Comment 1
In August 2004, after having not updated his previous blog for several months, Pax started a second blog at justzipit.blogspot.com (see external links)

Internet service was disrupted, and eventually the electric service was too. ... Sorry for the passive voice--does anyone know why the internet was disrupted? Pax said that he thought it got bombed; the AP at msn.com said it was; The Guardian says Iraq's government shut it down. As to the electricity, I haven't heard about why that went out.

I informed Mr. Pax that he has an encyclopedia entry, perhaps he will visit. Pizza Puzzle

I can't access the weblog. I get "Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed"... -- Oliver P. 13:00 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

It comes up for me. Pizza Puzzle

http://dearraed.blogspot.com/ works for me. Is that the same site? -- Oliver P. 13:31 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I cant get it to open lol Pizza Puzzle


 * He had to get the 2nd address, without the underscore, because the first one didn't work for some people. And, oddly, I hope he does read this article.  I wonder what he'd think about it.  Koyaanis Qatsi 16:20 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

There was a post in his Blog about how US troops raided his families house, where about steal stuff in it until they realised who Salam was. After that they changed thier tune and let them go. What is intresting is that the story was hidden shortly after being posted on blogspot. You could directly link to it, but it would not show up on the main list. - Si.#

Your referring to this page? It is visible from the main site, but at the time wasn't if I recall.

The original blog was not at dear_raed.blogspot, it distinctly states in the book that this was only created after Salam lost internet access by blogspot i think, I can find the exact quote if you like. I'm presuming that the original address was www.thebaghdadblog.com as this is the one that the book refers to? Anyone know if this is right? - The original blog was at dear_raed.blogspot.com and (later, I believe) at salampax.blogspot.com (same content in both pages). The address www.thebaghdadblog.com appeared after the book came out, the blog was originally at blogger.

Raed Jarrar
Is the Raed Jarrar in this article the same one who had to take off his "We will not be silent" T-shirt? --Amaccormack 15:30, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Ahah, having followed the link to Raed's blog, it seems that it is! Maybe this incident should be mentioned herem, or perhaps Raed deserves his own article? I'm not really qualified to do it, though. --Amaccormack 15:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I've started an article at Raed Jarrar. --Saforrest 19:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Current information?
I've arranged and annotated the external links so it's easier for people to see which links are current.

Has Salam blogged since 2006?

I found a claim that "Salam Pax has gone on to work for the Guardian and BBC." Also his more recent blog (shut up you fat whiner!) mentions doing work for Newsnight - which I guess is the BBC's Newsnight.

Not my area - just wanted to leave the info with those working on the article. --Chriswaterguy talk 01:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
