{Salam Pax, the Where is Raed? guy, stopped blogging from Baghdad. Letter from Gotham has this posting which has the ring of truth to it. this one journal entry may be the definitive realization of what all this held in potential, not because of her writing and thought, but the processes that led to her writing. I would like to be emphatically clear, though, that it is only realized as force, as weapon of truth, as tool, in the context of an obscene tyrannical invasion (not a war. this is not and will never be a war. it is ludicrous and cowardly to call it a war.) an invasion witnessed from the target, from the heart of the zone, and completely unmediated. unmediated. it's us. that, in this context, is what this is, this a-geography, this blogdom, as news vesicle, and as conduit and interface. but, I am trying to emphasize, there is so much more still held in potential here, so much unrealized, unimagined un-dreamed of, yet to be.
still, first things first.
Salam Pax may be more than a pseudonym, in the fictive sense. paranoia is certainly more necessary now than ever, but he seems genuine, real, and this email seems real. no great entity's reputation rides on the factuality of either one. just trust, the tender still forming trust of all of us for all of us. pray for him if you pray, among so many, among us all.}
