Kaus wonders "Is famed Baghdad blogger Salam Pax coming to the end of his Western media fame cycle?" citing criticism by Instapundit and David Warren.
I really haven't followed the biographies of him that closely to be able to ascertain whether he's a Ba'athist or not. Suffice it to say that he risked his life to open up his world to ours -- that deserves something; if he ends up being a player in the Ba'athist regime, certainly he should face those consequences. But it's no crime to be the son of a wealthy asshole.
UPDATE: Jeff Jarvis has more.
UPDATE: Kaus links to Needlenose, who essentially, and authentically, paints David Warren as the Michael Moore of the anti-Salam crowd.
