Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader does like one particular aspect of the blogosphere above many others. The aspect of which he is speaking today is the ability of a blogger to focus attention on a problem, issue, or situation that is being largely overlooked by other news outlets.

Dr. Rusty over at The My Pet Jawa Report has been a constant champion of the family of Roy Hallums. If it were not for Rusty’s periodic updates, your Maximum Leader would doubt that anyone would have heard or cared about the fate of Roy Hallums, a hostage of Iraqi insurgents.

You should go and read part one of an interview with members of Hallums’ family on Rusty’s site. The Damned of the West (part 1): Interview With Susan Hallums. Rusty says part two will be out later this week.

Remember Roy Hallums.

Carry on.
