I'm extremely pleased to announce the release of The Iraq War Reader, a new book and weblog by Micah L. Sifry and Christopher Cerf. Micah is my smarter big brother. I don't have time for a longer entry (work beckons!) but if you're at all interested in the US involvement in Iraq, the historical context, opinions and analysis from both sides, go buy the book and subscribe to the site. Micah and Chris have gotten very clued-in to how to use their weblog as a compliment to the book. Here's the Introduction and here's the Table of Contents.

Many thanks to those of you who responded to my earlier request for web designers - In the end we selected Bryan Bell, and he did a bang up job.
