What a pleasure to interview the Baghdad Blogger as I did on the phone today to write the forward feature for his impending visit. What a cherub he is. Lively, bubbly and interesting. Immensely likeable. He said that he never for a moment imagined, as he tapped out that historic blog from the crumbling chaos of falling Baghdad, that he would end up talking to the likes of me. And I have to say that, as I checked in to that famous Baghdad blog during those terrible times, I, too, never imagined that I would be talking to its author.
