I'm heading out to Beirut, Lebanon for six months. (Yay, car bombs.) skull

Syria, Iran, Egypt, and Jordan are also on my itinerary since I'll be in the neighborhood. Y'all keep an eye on things for me while I'm away.

If anyone is interested in six months worth of political reporting, travel writing, and "muddy boots" analysis, this is the place.

Two days ago I posted an item to the news wire about an anti-Syrian journalist, Samir Kassir, who was murdered by car bomb in Beirut. It didn't click for me at first. I knew this man personally, and I didn't realize it was actually him until I saw his photo in the New York Times.



I wrote this up on my own Web site.

It's too late to update the SG story. I just wanted it noted here somewhere. I feel like I've slighted him.

I showed this picture to an Iraqi friend of mine in Washington DC on Sunday and he wept when he saw it.

Okay, I finally put up a picture of myself. That's me in the lobby of the Al-Kabir Hotel in Tripoli, Libya. Everyone's pal Brother Leader Moammar Ghaddafi is on the wall over my shoulder.

It's been almost a year since I've added anything on this page. That's ridiculous and it needs to stop. Here's a filler post for now!

I just joined Suicide Girls, and already I'm working here. smile

I'll be helping out with writing and editing the news wire. Outside of Suicide Girls, I keep a daily web log and write a bi-weekly column for Tech Central Station. My work has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal.

I won't be making too many journal entries here. See you on the news wire instead…
