Via Steve Hercher's Pragueblog via Glenn Reynolds's Instapundit, Al Barger of the Culpepper Log says "Salam's a big boy" and can take of himself. This was sparked by a debate over whether CNN and BBC should have mentioned the Baghdad blogger on-air, which they did. I agree it's a big patronizing and dumb to think that Big Media shouldn't cite Salam Pax's now famous web log, while everybody on the Internet can plug him all we want. Still, I'm not sure Salam had any idea he would get this big (although he certainly should have). I really hope he knows what he's doing, hope he's safe and, from a purely selfish perspective, wish he would post more. He's posted only once since Friday, and I get really anxious about it.

NOTE: If you can't reach Salam Pax with the above link, try omitting the underscore in "dear_raed" or clicking here. As of Thursday (3/27) he still hasn't posted.
