Baghdad Burning Again

You should visit Baghdad Burning and scroll down to the "Multiple Personalities" post. Some 70-year-old American Republican has been running a bogus "Baghdad Burning" blog and trying to draw attention away from the real BB blog to his own.

Riverbend's links will take you to sites where this scam has been unmasked. Fascinating example of how blogging can be exploited for disinformation...and if Riverbend hadn't been so effective in the first place, the bogus blogger wouldn't have tried to sabotage her.
