Reporters without Borders has now condemned Talabani’s attempt to jail an editor for raising such taboo subjects as corruption and nepotism in the Kurdistan Regional Government (the case started when Hawlati published excerpts of one of my essays, hence my interest in the case). Perhaps, jailing the editor will make the world safe for the leaderships’ family members to drive $100,000 Ferraris without having to face the criticism of those Kurds kicked off land confiscated by party members.
