Iraqi blogger Khalid Jarrar has been detained by the Iraqi police, according to reliable sources. Read the announcement for more information.
And US soldiers in Iraq now have to register with authorities if they want to maintain a blog. Clearly dissidents are no longer welcome. These voices certainly provide interesting perspectives.
UPDATE: I'm in Melbourne for the weekend, so posting will be light. Also, I've switched off anonymous postings on comments. Too much abuse and trouble, frankly. You now must be a registered user. Hope you readers understand (and a few readers suggested this, so...)

It's for the best mate. What you were getting wasn't anything constructive anyway. It's hard when you honestly feel like everyone deserves a space to speak (which I think you do). Alas, some people are just dickheads. Full marks for trying as long as you did!
I vaguely recall a Mike Jericho being pursued by Nabokov and others on a local blog a while ago, because he'd made some claim about his military service that he wouldn't verify. Could have been someone else, if so, sorry Mike.
But if not, the comments above suddenly become a bit more interesting than they seemed.
It was Nabby who couldn't verify his claim.
Nabakov finds it difficult to put forward a single coherent argument most of the time. I find it hard to believe he was pursuing anyone.
