Hi, Tom, from Amman.  I'm facilitating a meeting.  Chaos all around.  That's all I'm gonna say!

Thanks for this wonderful article.  For those of you, especially you, George, who aren't already Clay Shirkey fans, let me recommend  his book,  "Here Comes Everybody".  Outsider journalism, outsider diplomacy, outsider everything is the new norm.  The age of elite expertise is over, and good riddance.   Control of insight and information has always been an illusion.

Slightly off topic, but why didn't the Guardian give more protection to Snowden?  I realize Ellsberg was a US citizen, but the NYTimes gave him a lot of help staying out of jail.  Snowden isn't UK but wouldn't you expect the Guardian to somehow support him?
