Via Instapundit I learn that while the world was looking for Salam Pax and wondering whether he was real or not, he was acting as an interpreter for Peter Maass’ in Iraq.

I also enjoy the fact that I always believed Salam had to be for real, which has now been confirmed!

Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
