MLK Remembrances...and More War Reporting

The day after the nation honored civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., references from his famous "I Have a Dream" speech and memorials to him dot the blogosphere. Mecca.org has posted the entire speech.

And journalist Seymour Hersh, the New Yorker writer who uncovered the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, is back in investigative journalism form, claiming that the Bush Administration has been sending secret reconnaisance missions into Iran to stir up the mullahs...perhaps in anticipation of expanding the Iraq invasion across the border. He obviously stirred up the Pentagon brass so much that they've posted an official rebuttal, which says a lot of meetings he described didn't happen...but doesn't do a very good job of addressing the crux of the issue. Is Iran next?

Also making the news is unfortunate-guy Patrick Lawler, who went to his dentist in Littleton, CO, complaining of a toothache only to find out he'd been walking around with a 10-millimeter nail in his head for six days. Seemed his nail gun had backfired days earlier...and he hadn't noticed. Yeouch.

On the entertaining side of life, Samuel L. Jackson's weekend hit Coach Carter got a few nods, as did the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

YOU THINK YOU"VE GOT IT BAD? From the Blogosphere comes Monday's post from Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds, who notes that Tim Blair's entire blog apparently had been hacked and all postings removed. Elsewhere in the Blogosphere is the newly formed Committee to Protect Bloggers, a blog that provides information and resources to help bloggers worlwide deal with emerging policies and censorship tactics that attempt to silence them.
