Egyptians kill another Sudanese; world yawns
How many Sudanese have been killed by Egyptian border guards? Fifty? One hundred? Two hundred? I have no idea. It’s a body count that the AP isn’t interested in keeping. The wire services barely acknowledge that not a week goes … Continue reading

Horribly wrong part II
Dion Nissenbaum, McClatchy’s Israel correspondent, lets all know where his sympathies lie, with Samir Kuntar. As Israel was getting ready to free Kuntar last Wednesday, the Lebanese militant told guards that he didn’t want to walk to freedom in a … Continue reading
