No names, eh? :o)

Hey, I just enjoy rattling some cages, particularly when I see people a bit too comfortable in their assumptions. I happen to fit giving Mr. Cole's evidenceless speculation the benfit of the doubt into that category. I also think you underestimate the influence of Kos, and (major) blogs in general, on a rather grand scale, they really are redefining the information age, and that's a good thing.

Rest assured, no matter what my tone on a keyboard, if you happen to be in South Louisiana stop by and have a beer. :D

What Jamie said (quite obvious). And also the fact that not many people in reality care about blogs except the cranks whose prejudice they reinforce and whose guilt they calm. Also, that voice saying that lefties are anti-this and that is a tad louder than a professor’s reasoned blog.

I’m not sure it would make any difference. The fact that they’re standing for office in the first place and are fairly close to the US would be enough to make them targets.

Also, all the major Iraqi parties have their own militias to protect their leaders. I doubt if the ITM boys run to a militia, so they’ll have to get closer to the US in the hope that the US military will protect them – which in turn makes them a more likely target.
