Since our host is a public figure and a writer, I thought it would be good to have a thread where people can post up links to articles by RYP, interviews with him, or videos of his appearances. I'll start with a few:

RYP's Wikipedia page (contains a bunch of good links to National Geographic columns): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Young_Pelton

Men's Journal article about Eric Prince: http://www.mensjournal.com/an-american-commando-in-exile

"Setting the record straight on Robert Young Pelton" (interview in DW-World.de): http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,5609836,00.html

Transcript of interview (conducted by RYP) with John Walker Lindh: http://articles.cnn.com/2001-12-20/...can-taliban-fighter-john-walker?_s=PM:asiapcf

Post 'em if you've got 'em.
 
Guyon, thanks for posting these. I have been to get an inkling of Mr. Pelton's background & to learn a little more about his thoughts & ideas on knives & such.
Thanks for the help.
Be safe.
 
If you have library access involving searchable databases, you can find more. I've read several articles in .PDF form recently. However, that copy is copyrighted, and I'm not sure about the legality or ethics of making it available in a space like this. My hunch is that it would be neither legal nor ethical.
 
"WALKER: Yourself a Muslim?

PELTON: No, unfortunately, I'm not. But I respect the cause and I respect the call, but I'm just interested to find an American, because when I met the other prisoners, who were in very bad shape, they seem to be from a number of very poor countries. You know, there were people from Yemen. There looked liked one -- have you met Chechens at all?"

I thought this part of the JWL interview was interesting. You say, "No, unforunately, I'm not" when asked if you are muslim. Why is it unfortunate? If you think it's unfortunate that you're not muslim, couldn't you just convert?
 
Lindh was one of the 86 survivors of a group that just murdered over 100 Afghans and 350 of their own people. I still had brains from his fellow muslims on my boots. Sarcasm is important part of dealing with people like that.
