President Bush Quotes Iraqi Bloggers

Today, Bush quoted two Iraqi bloggers (Iraq the Model) and their report that the surge is working. More at Pajamas Media.

UPDATE: Michele Malkin documents some disapproval in the MSM that Bush would use "unverified statements". Michele responds:

And never mind that Iraq the Model isn't merely an "opinion" blog reacting to news, as the snobs at the AP would have you believe. They are reporting news from the ground--which is a serious threat to MSM outlets like the AP that continue to rely on anonymous stringers relying on anonymous sources feeding them unverified statements.
