Salam Pax, as always, full of juicy goodness interspersed with a sobering discourse. Just go and raed.

Gripping stuff, I'm addicted.

Particularly liked this, to the Western "War tourists": "If you are so in love with the situation here, be my guest let’s trade places".

Let's hope it keeps on coming.

I'm intrigued [also by Alice's positive review] but all I get is a bad URL, sad to say.

I tried both the link given and the basic website address without the archive file extension. Has it gone down?

The links work fine for me, but there is a lot of systemic internet strangeness going on, so just keep trying if you have a problem.
