I’ve written about The Media Line before as a unique source for news about and from the Middle East. If you sign up as a blog user (free and simple compared to others’ processes), you can get a list of blogs from more than 20 different countries in the Middle East. I can’t vouch for how they are selected but the list is a place to start.

Here are a few to try in Pakistan. And if you’re not sure why you should be following Pakistani blogs, all you need to know is this, from the New York Times above the fold this morning, “Ousted Justice in Pakistan Urges Defiance.” And from The Media Line, an article that examines the turmoil’s impact on Pakistan’s economy.
