] PHILADELPHIA - (KRT) - Where was Salam Pax?
]
] While bombs rained on his beloved Baghdad and fierce
] battles roiled the sands of Iraq, people around the world
] spent last weekend seeking a man called Peace.
]
] In Brazil and Sweden, in China and Australia, from
] California to Maine, the question flew across the
] borderless Internet: Where is Salam Pax?
]
] For months, the mysterious Blogger of Baghdad, whose
] pseudonym translates as "peace" in Arabic and Latin - and
] who is suspected by some of being a secret agent or a
] hacker - had chronicled the minutiae of life in a city on
] the edge of war. Salam Pax's blog - a log of thoughts, or
] a journal, on the Web - had become a symbol of the power
] and pitfalls of a fast-growing new form of interactive
] reporting that has emerged with this war.

No word from Salam Pax (www.dearraed.blogspot.com) since March 24th. I hope it's just because his internet access is down!
