I'm looking back at some old Backspin posts dated August 12 — today. Two in particular stand out.
In 2008, we cited a hyperlink to the Hamas "military wing" web site on The Guardian's Israel page. The Gardian still links to that Hamas web site, even though it's on the UK Home Office's list of proscribed terrorist groups.
On this day in 2007, the Sunday Telegraph reported that Hezbollah was purchasing land throughout southern Lebanon. Any tie in to last week's border clash?
