By the time I picked up The New York Times Sunday edition with its lead story about protestors gaining momentum in Bahrain, the news had long been overtaken by the fast-moving wave that is washing over the Middle East.
I could barely sit still to read the story about Bahrain’s security withdrawing from the central square – on Saturday night – in my haste to read the next page, where the revolutionary fever was throbbing through Yemen and Libya.
But then I had to switch to Twitter, where #Libya was riding a tear through the Twitterverse. Libyan security had opened fire on demonstrators; human rights groups claim at least 200 and as many as 500 have been killed.
