Alive and well, and writing one of the most interesting first-person accounts of the war I’ve yet read: [http://dearraed.blogspot.com/](http://dearraed.blogspot.com/) ---

Ah, but is he for real? Check this by SDB [http://denbeste.nu/cd\_log\_entries/2003/04/WheresRaed.shtml](http://denbeste.nu/cd_log_entries/2003/04/WheresRaed.shtml) Interesting. He’s probably for real, but that niggle persists. ---

Hmmm… that is interesting, and it has indeed interested me that pro-democracy slogans should be all over the site. However, if Raed is a hoaxer and is in jail in the states, either he’s posting from prison, or he’s got someone else doing it too. Or is he just out on bail?
