Land grabs in Cambodia - AlJazeera

Al Jazeera is becoming my favorite news source. They cover stories in detail that rarely if ever get a mention from even the BBC these days. I have never seen a story about Cambodia from the likes of Fox News.

Anyway, Al Jazeera just ran a long piece about land grabs in Cambodia on their 101 East program. Nicely done. Can somebody please post that link in this thread for me? I can't copy links from this mobile phone.

The story is called No Place Like Home. You can look it up on AlJazeera.com

Al Jazeera is a really good news source. I don't know if Al Jazeera English / International varies in content much from the Arabic version, or if they tailor their coverage or the tone of their coverage to their audience, but if the Arab world is getting that level of journalism from them as well, then they are better off than most Americans who are relying on CNN/FOX/MSNBC, where horse race political coverage is done ad nauseum to the exclusion of all else.

Finally, something we agree on!
