Cracked's ISIS articles.

Hey everyone, I don't know if they've been posted here or not, but if you haven't read Cracked's articles on ISIS, you should. They sent Robert Evans, their editor in chief, to Iraq and the stories are better journalism than I've seen from the mainstream news sites. Here are the links:

For a comedy site born of a Mad Magazine ripoff, they've really distinguished themselves with terrific writing and remarkably insightful analysis.

It's one of my (several times) daily guilty pleasures.
