Me on Al Jazeera

The show is about the Iraqi government stopping its reporting of civilian casualties. My comment is at the end, around the 3:10 minute mark.

Today an interview with me (written by Vlado) was published in El Morrocotudo, the Chilean online citizen newspaper that I mentioned in yesterday's post. The topic is "how the internet is changing politics." You can read the article here (in Spanish, por supuesto).
