 Chris Lydon interviews Steve Kinzer of the NY Times. "It is not far-fetched," he concludes, "to draw a line from Operation Ajaz through the Shah's repressive regime and the Islamic Revolution to the fireballs that engulfed the World Trade Center in New York."  Matthew Thomas: How to recognize a Weblog tool by its permalinks. Manila beta feature, see a whole month of posts in the archive, or if you're really brave, a whole year.
