Blogs We're Reading

As promised, some links to blogs of people we learn from, or who are contacts we use.
Laial el Haddad is a journalist we worked with in Gaza, and who sometimes helps us get the views of ordinary Palestinians caught up in what she calls 'the other planet' known as Gaza.
Her blog is well worth reading.
are Egyptian bloggers, caught up in the crackdown on democracy protests. Alaa is in jail after taking part in the demonstrations supporting the judges who cried 'foul!' on the electoral process. He is apparently managing to get some posts out.
Worryingly, it's been a few days since he's refreshed the posts though.
US opinion on the left is well served by - the writers, especially Joshua Micah Marshall, seem to live, eat, sleep and breathe Capitol Hill. He's just gone on holiday (although I bet he won't be able to stay out of the loop) but his team is strong so the blog will roll on.
And for the conservative cause in the US, is more original than most, and prolific.
Of course, no possible ´óÏó´«Ã½ endorsement of anything except clean living.

I liked the story about the Bloggers.
I'm a big fan of the blogosphere and I've read enough to know that few bloggers offer much more than trite talking points from the left or right. An amazing exception is blogger ALH who writes The iPINIONS Journal. Check him out. I think you'll learn a lot more from one of his posts than you get from months of posts from one of the more popular bloggers.
