Links for January 8th
These are my delicious links for January 8th from 13:18 to 13:49:
- China's Electronic Waste Village - Photo Essays - TIME - Wish TIME would start doing some video or at least audio with these stories. Nonetheless, this one has some fantastic imagery and journalism.
- Commenting survey results - Invisible Inkling - Informal survey says: comments are less civil on news articles than on blogs. Hypothesis: disproven.
- BBC NEWS | South Asia | Swat diary: 'Taleban rule now' - It's short, but it's really good journalism. It's proof you need feet on the ground to report.
If anyone knows a good way to get wordpress to display tumblr links instead of delicious via postalicious, lemme know!
Muslim ‘Hearts and Minds’
"At first I thought these were American soldiers and I wanted them to leave but when they said they were Muslims I knew they were our brothers," a young Afghan man says.
Muslim Troops Help Win Afgan Minds – BBC News
Apparently, the United Arab Emirates (the UAE, a small little country south of Iraq for those not familiar with the region's geography) has secretly had troops in Afghanistan helping both the American and British soldiers on the 'hearts and minds' campaign.
Fascinating and really good to hear.
