The River

It’s a bit off topic from my ordinary posts, but my pal Tom Watson, in his inimitable way, has issued something of a challenge to bloggers, including myself. The story of Mukhtaran Bibi — who has been taken into police custody in Pakistan for speaking out against serious abuses — is well deserving of widespread attention. I urge you to check out Tom’s post and do whatever you can to help — including spread the word.
