Dear Raed has been mentioned before. Wired ran a story on the weird hack that happened on monday: "For the last six months the site's creator, who uses the pseudonym Salam Pax, has chronicled Iraq's political situation from the point of view of an ordinary Iraqi, covering the presidential elections, the effects of U.N. resolutions related to Iraq, the arrival of weapons inspectors and how it feels to know that bombs could strike your hometown any day. For many, the blog has put a personal face on the war. In the last couple of days, however, parody photos appeared where the site's legitimate images should have been displayed, atop mock captions indicating either that Iraqi TV was showing images of the Photoshopped tussle between the two presidents or that the image portrayed "demonstrations in Iraqi cities." Some site visitors wondered whether Dear Raed had been hacked for political reasons, but the image swap was actually carried out by the angry owner of a service that stores photos for some blog creators." full story
