Unearthing a life.....

SleeplessInSudan closed down her Darfur BLOG last February 1st. She was a relief worker anonymously reporting on the on-going genocide being committed there. She closed down her BLOG when her emplyer transferred her off to another crisis (or was it really a forced relocation?). In the three months since her departure, the looting, raping and killing have gone on unabated.

This morning George Clooney was on TV with Katie Couric and another reporter (I didn't catch his name) trying to whip up some public attention on this new holocaust. The other gentleman remarked that this was a story that "had not been able to gain any legs" in the press.

If Darfur were sitting atop a major oil field, you can bet the story would have more legs than a millipede. Meanwhile a race of people, numbering in the several millions, is being systematically butchered into extinction.
And the 'story has no legs'.
Not in the U.S. of A.
Not in Kitsap County.
Not out here in the Rolling Hills Golf Club neighborhood.
