Behind-the-scenes intellectual debate in China
“Working instructions” or what to censor this month in the PRC.
White to Blue to Pink to Night
A white piece of paper,
Fluttering in the breeze,
Floating across the blue sky,
Like the name tag across
My sky-blue apron
I wear to work.
You know the one,
With pink poppies on the back;
The ones that look as if they are
Pink clouds at sunset,
Fading away into the night.

+ Hersh’s latest New Yorker piece “Shifting Targets - The Administration’s plan for Iran” (link)
Hersh was one of the only journalists who got it right when we went into Iraq. Anything he writes about the Bush Administration should be taken very seriously.
