I have just finished his lengthy post about his visit to Ramallah and it&#8217;s terrific, filled with sharp observations you don&#8217;t get int the mainstream media. And I know something about this since I&#8217;ve been to Ramallah several times myself, during different eras. Photos are good too. What&#8217;s particularly impressive is about what Michael is doing is that it is self-generated. He didn&#8217;t ask anyone&#8217;s permission to go to the Middle East and report. He just did it. So he&#8217;s beholding to no one but his readers. This is the blogosphere at its best. I wish there were more like him.]]>Fri, 19 May 2006 10:19:22 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
