- Pope links: the Vatican has its own news website, and the UK Catholic newspaper, The Tablet, has a Storify page running with lots of links, and here's The Guardian's live blog.
- Meet the man who killed Osama bin Laden.
- You may not like what Andrew Sullivan has to say about Benedict, but one of the great features of his site is that he links to those who disagree with him. So visit Sullivan's The Dish for loads of links about the papal resignation (or is that abdication?).
- Can the shape of a country determine its economics?
- How Latin America is taking the news of the papal resignation.
- What political science says about the pope's successor.
- The View from Taiwan looks like a blog I should add to my favourites list.
