crackdown

i wanted to share an important and eye opening article written by anna louie sussman for the atlantic monthly. she questions, explains and tries to answer the ongoing, seldom talked about history and facts behind the use of rape as a weapon in war.

along the same lines of current arab government's crackdowns against freedom and free speech, two other must read articles about two voices trying to be silenced. first an article by nick kristof about bahrain's arrest of hassan al-sahaf and and another article in the telegraph about the detention of syrian-american blogger and activist amina arraf.
