    ARCHIVED LINKS OF THE WEEK from 2 Nov 2008

    a) News Analysis: US Military Raids into Syria Ignore International Law.  "Falk pointed to a recent escalation in unauthorized and illegal cross-border attacks, calling the raid in Syria and similar US actions in Pakistan "a type of very dangerous diplomacy," which threatens to spark an international crisis and "further expand the war zone" in the region."

    b) The British Attorney Gen:: ZMAG ADMIN ::eral’s investigation of CIA agents follows criticism of US prosecutors by British judges who have seen secret evidence of torture committed against Mr Mohamed, including allegations his torturers used a razor blade to repeatedly cut his penis.

    c) Clearly, the sky is falling on the US news business.  The question is, how many people will be left to cover it?

    d) Burn pit at US base in Iraq raises health concerns.  Troops say chemicals and medical waste being burned are making them sick but officials deny risk.

    e) Sarah Palin get pranked by a Montreal radio station pretending to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy. 

    f) My friend Heather Fassio is a photojournalist currently working in Afghanistan following around an Afghani bomb squad. Live vicariously through her by visiting her blog.

    Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

    It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.

    More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
