Here is a link to his blog. It appears this person is for real.

I'm going to stay posted on the reconstruction of Iraq's communications structure. There's something about the U.S. starting to broadcast programming for Iraqis, so they're working on it, I suppose. When they get their Internet stuff fixed we should be able to tune in Iraq. I'm going to start trying today. Heck, I'd like to be friends with these people. Why not e-mail Baghdad and say hello?
