Has Anwar Ibrahim changed in six years behind bars?

"While many, including his friends within and outside PAS, might have forgiven him because of his personal ordeal, the question remains of who Anwar’s friends will be from now on.

Don’t Believe a Word

Making Arab media really independent

"If the US is serious about the effort to see a thriving and effective independent media, it must supplement any programming efforts on the ground with an articulate public approach that reflects the issues called for by Arab journalists themselves and the freedom-seeking Arab population as a whole. Otherwise, this latest effort will be a waste of money and yet another lost opportunity."

Afghanistan’s Presidential Elections: Spreading Democracy or a Sham?
