Regarding Crocodile Seeking Refuge, Wikipedia (of which I am a huge fan) has an article on Sudan and one about the Darfur conflict. These may come in useful.
Also, I am very fond of Harper's Magazine, and here are a few of the articles they've put on their website. (Some of their best are not online, unfortunately.) (I'm not claiming that Harper's usually offers a neutral point of view in its articles. Actually, I'm openly claiming the exact opposite.)
Somehow related to what we're doing, in that they explain the state of mind of a military invasion:
See you all on Thursday.

Somehow related to what we're doing, in that they explain the state of mind of a military invasion:
- AWOL in America, the invading American army, from a few deserters' point of view.
- Baghdad Year Zero, a fascinating article by Naomi Klein, the author of No Logo, about possible early plans for what the Bush administration might have though to do after a successful invasion.
- We Are Not Immune, about how governments put health issues low on their priorities list.
- Whitewash as Public Service, a reading of the 9/11 report, that replaces appropriate journalistic neutrality with maybe excessive passion. Still a good read.
See you all on Thursday.
