Tuesday Night Triple Play: Interesting Topics from the Internets

Published May 19, 2009 @ 07:09PM PT

I can't decide on one thing to write about tonight, so instead here are three that caught my interest today:

Cell Phones: The ENOUGH Project launched its Come Clean 4 Congo contest today, in partnership with YouTube. (Covered more in-depth over at Humanitarian Relief, and on Change.org's Social Entrepreneurship blog as well.)

Nazis Without Borders: Madeline Chambers at the Global News Blog discusses a new effort to Europeans outside of Germany who aided and abetted, or even joined, the Nazi Holocaust.

Activism: Chad Hazlett of the Genocide Intervention Network posted a contribution to the debate over the Save Darfur movement on the SSRC blog. It's a bit long, but excellent, and makes many well-reasoned counterpoints to Mahmood Mamdani's claims about the movement's supposed agenda. William J. Dobson, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, published a critical review of Mamdani's book, pointing out small errors of fact as well as broader false premises, but warning advocates of the potential resonance of Mamdani's narrative, despite its many false assertions.
