Where is Ala' At-Tamimi?
As'ad at The Angry Arab News Service has a chiding post on Ala' At-Tamimi, "one of the Iraqis who was living abroad and was installed as mayor of Baghdad by Paul Bremer, and who was profiled by the New York Times too."
"This Tamimi was recently ousted by angry armed Iraqis loyal to the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq," he noted.
As'ad used the occassion to chide "right-wing propagandist Christopher Hitchens," who "bragged about the case of `Ala' At-Tamimi" in a recent article.
