Daily linklets 22nd September

Harry Hutton live blogs today's Jetblue plane crash so you don't have to. Listening to CNBC, the anchor was visibly disappointed with the safe landing and asked the ACME expert "but what if it had gone wrong?" Not that the media are disaster merchants or anything. Has the pilot got a book and movie deal yet?
Savaging the Hong Kong ethos.
Yahoo sends another man to jail and ESWN again rightly defends their actions. On the flipside there's now a Yahoo Privacy blog.
How to fix the mess in China's legal system. In reply Useless Tree discusses a legalist market solution for modern China.
North Korea deal a coup for China (via CDT). The real coup will be making North Korea stick to the deal. Over at NKZone they decipher what North Korea's been saying.
It's gourmet fungus season.
Zhuan Jia: if anyone tells me in future how much China is developing and "opening up", I will have to tell them that it still has a long way to get near to what we take for granted.
A handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents.
Blame Japan's Yakuza for Katrina.
Billmon on appeasing North Korea: A nuclear breakout (and the warheads it's added to North Korea's arsenal) is a pretty expensive way for a president to learn that sometimes you have to call people "Mr." -- even if they are spoiled pygmy tyrants.

oh, come on! The whole jet blue thing was rigged, because they were suffering their first quarterly loss since the beginning of the company.

They just wanted to restore confidence with high drama.

That "blogger's handbook" sounds like a publicity stunt. It was commented that it can't be downloaded in China, so who is it aimed at? A bit like the Germans passing the Enigma machine to Bletchley Park.
