  Posted by Billbar from Codylyonblogolater.blogspot

- Spate of Hindu Killings Precedes Kashmir Meeting
  Posted by Billbar from New York Times

- Take Your Best Shot
  Posted by Billbar from Wired

It gives voice to ordinary citizens and disseminates vital information that those who command power and status would rather bury.

These people are no friends of liberty and free expression.
