thanks for this, slims.
fascinating account...miles from the domestic framing.
it is interesting the extent to which pakistan as a more-or-less live theater is not central in the presentation of afghanistan. there seems to have been a decision that it's ok to allow the media-image of drift into a kind of busy incoherence, to not have a center. i assume that follows from another decision to basically not try to sell the war. i think the assumption is that the war is simply a fact and has been adequately framed as necessary. but i'm not sure about that.
have to do some stuff...perhaps more later.
