Linkwad.

Not a great weekend, worldwide:

1. Death toll from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami tops 5,000; two nuclear reactors are still near meltdown.
2. P.J. Crowley is pushed out of the State Dept. after calling Bradley Manning’s treatment “ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid.” President Obama calls Manning’s treatment “appropriate” the next day. It goes without saying at this point, but the Obama administration’s record on human rights is depressingly bad, and getting worse.
3. The NFL lockout is under way. Here’s PFT’s basic breakdown.
4. Libel fine for a tweet totals £53,000.
5. Gadhafi’s military makes a major push against Libyan rebels. Spencer Ackerman points out that a no-fly zone won’t hinder an army; Ross Douthat argues that the US shouldn’t intervene.
