There's a strange and disturbing debate at Pajamas Media about pro/anti Moscow dupes, propagandists and spies.

It began with an article entitled "Is Wired Magazine's 'Military Correspondent' a Kremlin dupe?" This article, by Kim Zigfeld, criticises Wired's correspondent, a blogger named David Axe, for rubbishing the claim that Russia had long planned to attack Georgia.

According to Zigfeld, who runs a blog called La Russophobe, Axe's only source is an email from a Professor Gordon Hahn who is linked to the Monterey Institute of International Studies and who runs a pro-Kremlin blog called "Russia: Other points of view."

That sounds bad. But then, at least according to one 'Steve J Nelson',  who runs a blog called La Russophobe Exposed, "Kim Zigfeld" isn't a real person but some kind of sinister propaganda project...

This may be one of those blogosphere spats that highlights the problems of our brave new world of pseudonymous comment.
