Hiatus Corpus

"Tooling around Urozgan in an unarmored Land Cruiser without guards makes thoughts of going home and becoming a farmer appealing. Earlier that day, when we’d visited a Provincial Reconstruction Team in Tarin Kot, a US Army lieutenant colonel mentioned there was intelligence that the enemy was trying to kidnap some foreign contractors. We didn’t need the CIA to tell us we were fair game, but the Army suspecting we might actually be the targets raised the concern meter. The military part of my mind suspected even that base could be overrun.

A report by Murray Brewster [link] on the CBC a week earlier detailed Taliban efforts to do just that to a Canadian base:"

Well Yon continues to report "unflattering" news from the front lines of war. I think he's got more to worry about how these reports are going over with people here than getting caught by the taliban. Watchout!
