I didn't know exactly where to post the following, but it seemed to me that the 'politics' thread was a safe bet.

Robert Young Pelton is a writer that specializes in danger and civil unrest. He is the author of the series "The World's Most Dangerous Places" which describes the horror of human nature, driven by racism, religion, greed or politics.

His "The World's Most Dangerous Places" series is mandatory reading for State and CIA personnel. Sadly, the latest edition was coincidentally released a few days after 9/11. It warned of Osama Bin Ladin and al-Quaida.

I encourage you to visit the RYP website and purchase his books. Following are a few interviews that may tickle your interest:

Pelton has no political axe to grind. He just has the balls to go where few dare and hates stupidity. I have talked to him on and off over the past few years. He is a good ####.
