Various bits of news I've been reading in the Post
A real push in Pakistan against the Taliban/AQ?
Why we still haven't been able to capture or kill one man.
A long piece on the US cooperation with Ahmad Shah Massoud.
Post media notes on the presidential campaign.
News about the non-election in Iran.
And about Israel's latest attempt to create facts on the ground, a regular and depressing habit of theirs not all that far in its intent (change the reality, and it doesn't matter what happens at the negotiating table, especially if you refuse to negotiate) from the ethnic cleansing that, in the Balkans, eventually brought the US and NATO to bomb Serbia. No chance of our even speaking harshly to Israel, though.
