I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Allawi the Executioner, Where's the SCLM

The story in the Sydney Morning Herald about the new Prime Minister of Iraq, Iyad Allawi, personally executing up to six Iraqi prisoners has yet to turn up in the SCLM. It was widely reported in the blogs yesterday starting with Professor Cole and repeated here, here, here, here and others.

Google and Yahoo searches this morning turned up nothing. Allawi is a former Ba'ath hit man who had a falling out with Saddam and went to work for the CIA.

Update

David Neiwert brought this up last night. He found 2 links that had mentioned it: Blomberg in their Australia/New Zealand section and a UPI story in the Washington Times. Nothing new this morning.
