Well, at least there's an interesting development in Afghanistan, which apparently isn't big news in the mighty Wurlitzer propaganda machine. Otherwise there would be a thread about it by the victims already, so I guess I have to do it. A high-tech US spy plane E-11M has crash-landed in...

It has just been reported on BBC national radio that Linda Norgrove may have been killed by a grenade from US special forces rather than by a suicide bomb vest, as previously reported by the Usan military. Nato is reportedly carrying out an investigation. If this is true then there are a number...

Forgive me for thinking out loud, but is there any room for skeptics to entertain the following CT, which occurred to me. First, the news story: President Hamid Karzai takes 100% of votes in opposition stronghold Now the CT, which begins by asking cui bono. If Hamid Karzai really thinks he is...
