Sites of the Day

Veteran journalist Helena Cobban's Just World News site is worth checking out. She writes frequently on the Middle East and knows it well.

Abbas Kadhim, Calling it Like it Is. Viewpoint of an Iraqi Shiite philosopher at UC Berkeley on current affairs and the Iraq crisis.

Joshua Landis has begun a web log on Syria that is very much worth checking out. If David Wurmser, now on Cheney´s staff, gets his way, that one will be our problem, too.

TomDispatch.com always has cogent and fascinating discussions of left politics, and often of Iraq issues.
