First - do you own a blog? If so, have you heard of Technorati? You can go there and type in your blog's URL and see who is linking to you. I check it about once a week - when I remember - and I'm always pretty thrilled to see new links added to my blog. It inspires me to continue to post. :-)

Given that, I discovered that another blog on my blogroll, It Doesn't Have 2 Rain All The Time, has featured me as its "Blog of the Month". Cool! Stop on by and check out the blog. Reciprocity is good.

If you've missed this, go check it out. Daily Kos and a host of diarists have been all over the issue of white phosphorous being used by US troops as a chemical wespon in Iraq. It's appalling. The posts that are most informative are as follows:

• US Admits Use of White Phosphorous As Weapon
• Melting the Skin Off of Children [GRAPHIC]
• CONFIRMED: WP is a CW if used to cause harm through toxic properties
• How to Stop White Phosphorus War Crimes: Shut Down Pine Bluffs
• WaPo Confirmed U.S. Used White Phosphorus In Fallujah

That ought to be enough to spark both your awareness and your outrage.
