Roger Cohen in Iran

I've heard the folks at CNN repeat over and over why they are not reporting from Tehran and instead relying on YouTube and Twitter.

So it's pretty refreshing that Roger Cohen of the New York Times is actually on the streets there and continuing to do his job as a journalist. He is putting himself at risk, but he's doing something immensely important for the world.

Here is his latest column in the Times.

And here is the video of Neda Soltani that his column refers to. Neda is the young woman who was shot to death at a peaceful protest on the 20th.

Finally, Andrew Sullivan continues to do an amazing job of collecting, filtering, and passing on information from Iran.
