On Darfur

Nicholas Kristof may be the journalist I admire most. He travels the world to gather material about stories that no one else in the mainstream American press will touch, and his reporting is always rigorous, sympathetic, and principled. He even keeps a low-key weblog, so he can follow up on stories and answer reader questions. Recently, Kristof has been writing a series of columns about the genocide now taking place in the Sudan. The articles are hard reading, but perhaps if enough of us read and act on them, our government can be persuaded to apply the minimal resources it would take to stop this shit.
