Thursday, October 21, 2004Meet one of those bloggers, Ali Fadhil, a key author of Iraq the Model, perhaps the best known of the blogs, with 7,000 individual visitors a day. Thirty-four years old, a Sunni, Fadhil is a cheerful Baghdad doctor who contributes news and commentary. Medical students in Iraq use English in their classrooms, so doctors are overrepresented among English-language bloggers, as they are among translators. All of the main contributors to Iraq the Model are young physicians who see a cross-section of Iraqi patients daily and have witnessed, Ali says, a steep improvement in medical services since Saddam was overthrown. Here's Ali's interview with a doctor at Abu Ghraib, who gives a picture of the prison that's much different than that portrayed in the major media here. UPDATE: Another Iraqi doctor blog - from a med student, and an Iraqi dentist blog.
