In preparation for an interview with CBC radio (Canada's NPR) I did 
some searching, and I found out that although CNN says that lt-smash 
is a popular blog of a solder who has been in the US for months, the 
blog is probably a fake. Running the Unix whois command shows that 
the blog was started after the war started (created March 21) and 
that...
oh, here's the information: http://jasonnolan.net/archives/001916.html#001916

It may be real, but with all the well known warblogs that predate the 
war and are done by people who are less anonymous, I wonder.

But then again, I !believe everything I read online ex officio.
