What happened to the Iraq the Model blog

When the pro-American Iraqi blog, Iraq the Model suddenly stopped posting, New York Times writer Sarah Boxer wondered what happened. After researching and reporting for several months, she found out that Ali, one of the three brothers editing the blog, stopped posting while the other two were on a U.S. visit with President Bush. Ali, the brother who shut down the blog, said his brothers? trip was not supposed to receive any press, but once the Arabic press translated a Washington Post story covering the event, he was worried the exposure might put his family in danger. He has since relaunched under the name, Free Iraq.
