You know, I really don't know what to think of this story (and it sounds like a story). I mean, what useful and timely information could the intelligence apparatchiks hope to get from a blog? While I certainly think that there are scores of resourceful and evocative writers out there, and hundreds more tireless and info-hungry blogeurs who aggregate and absorb information to present to others, is there any information that comes into the blogosphere that an operative couldn't gain by, you know, doing his or her job in the field?
Do they think that there are hundreds of little-known Raeds posting al-Sadr militia positions, or uploading real-time declarations of fugitive al-Qaeda leaders?
8 Rabi al-Awwal
The neighbor's donkey won't stop braying.
I want to throw a shoe at it, but the trigger-happy
infidel Marines will think I'm tossing a grenade
and level the house.
Spoke to Zarqawi last night about the next truck
bombing. They'll be using 20kg of explosives
from the Kut stockpile (the secret stash that
Saddam so masterfully used to hide the Ames-strain
anthrax spores). I asked who the shaheed would be,
but Z was mum about it... he wants to keep that
out of the street until after the attack. I think
it might be one of the fighters who had just come
in from Kuwait -- wait till the Americans find that out.
But they'll probably lie and blame it on Syria again.
Justice will rain on these invaders, inshallah.
But I wish someone would deal with that donkey first.
