Gibran Tueni, editor and journalist, holds a pen aloft while protesting the assassination of fellow journalist Samir Qasir. Tueni was himself killed today by a car bomb in Beirut. He was the editor of An-Nahar (The Morning), which was the paper my uncles read when I was a child. I still remember the red rooster on a sunrise on the masthead.
I weep for the death of any journalist, but this one really hits home. I am so sorry, and I am frightened for Lebanon.
