    I am in the streets in Istanbul. Found a shelter. Watch the news. News should break soon on CNN. It is happening now.

    Airports are in lockdown. No idea when I will get home.

    It's all over the news now. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have been cut off there.

    IMO, military should be in charge in every Muslim country - the only way to keep religious crazies at bay.

    P.S. Stay safe, Brook!

    The bigger question is what does this mean for the Kurds in Turkey? Crackdown on them? Freedom?

    Just made it to my friend's house. So far it seems like an unsuccessful attempt. Streets are still busy. It is 1:35 am and nobody is sleeping
