>>>speaking of Irak the Model -- they were in the news lately<<<


Sure were....


"OLBERMANN: Lastly, I must ask you about the blog that the president cited today. It‘s now been identified. It‘s IraqTheModel.com. There‘s a pair of dentists who‘ve generally been sympathetic to the American mission. They met with the president in the Oval Office three years ago. But as late as last Friday, on the same blog, they said (INAUDIBLE) the administration, quote, “needs to revise the way it‘s been handling and planning for this critical war.” We‘re down to the president quoting a couple of dentists to prove that the surge is working?

CHANDRASEKARAN: Well, you know, there are dozens of Iraqi bloggers. And I dare say IraqTheModel is one of very, very few to be as rosy as it is, just notwithstanding some of their own skepticism about things and some of their own critical comments. I mean, those guys aren‘t idiots.

But, you know, if we do a more representative sample of what Iraqis are writing in their blogs, and I read a lot of them, you won‘t find as optimistic of a portrait as IraqTheModel portrays."
