Libya

Today is the US President's Day holiday. Sometime later today, however, I will post on Libya. Given the difficulty of discerning what is really going on (are the horror stories of massacres, snipers, and mercenaries from outside attacking demonstrators true?) versus the government's apparent uncompromising position (Saif al-Islam al-Qadhafi's warning that the government will fight to the last bullet — and Saif is the good cop in the regime — suggests they're prepared for a full Tienanmen if need be) we're in one of those rare vacuums in a connected world. Until I have time to post my own thoughts, follow the British blog Enduring America, which (despite its name) is liveblogging news, posting videos from YouTube and stills from Flickr and other sources, and is a good daily resource for the Middle Eastern revolutions ongoing.

And, of course, follow #Libya on Twitter, and of course Al Jazeera's live stream.
