In this posting, my second attempt at podcasting, I reviews a couple of news and commentary items related to the Sharm El Sheik (Egypt) terrorist attack on July 23, 2005. Here are links to the the articles discussed in the podcast:

Filling the Flights out of Egypt

Attackers had Aimed at Tourists, Egypt says

Scared Out of Our Minds

There were a couple of other articles that I wanted to discuss that were related to perceptions of tourism threats, but not related to Sharm El Sheik. However, the length of the podcast was getting much longer than I had thought it would, so I will hold those off for the time being. Hopefully I will get back to them soon, and to topics that more specifically geography-related.
