Rosett's boldness
Check out this important oped today by the Wall Street Journal's scrappy Claudia Rosett on Libyan dissident Fathi Eljahmi. Mr. Eljahmi has been "missing" since March 26 and no one can find him. Rosett actually publishes the man's phone numbers, asking readers to call him and see for themselves that he's not picking up. If you are interested, the numbers are:

Home: +011-218-21-360-8921
Mobile: +011-218-91-371-9129


Some would call the printing of the phone numbers questionable journalism. I say it's great and Rosett is doing a great service pushing her ideals through her writing. We need more "activist" or "civic" journalism on the Right. It should be the sole property of the Left.

Rosett's point here is that there is still a long way to go in Libya, despite progress on some fronts like its WMD program. Of course, she's right.
