Worth a read: Arianna Huffington's post about the upside of social media in the Middle East. While al-Qaeda, she notes, was "an early adopter" of the Web as a tool for recruitment, incitement, organization, and disinformation, the judicious and imaginative use of social media outlets in the right hands may, over time, help foster peaceful initiatives in the conflict-plagued region.

Just one more thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Week.

(Now, if we could only figure out how to deal with North Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan....and the fallout from the latest WikiLeaks leaks.)
