News you won't get elsewhere
Via Pajamas Media, I just listened to a very informative podcast interview with Bill Roggio by the Belmont Club's Richard Fernandez. Bill Roggio is in Afghanistan, which he describes as much more stable than Iraq. He discussed the recent riot in detail, and gives a very different story from the one I read in today's Philadelphia Inquirer. Bill says the riot was more largely instigated by supporters of Ahmad Shah Massoud (assassinated a week before 911) who feel left out of the Karzai government despite the fact that they fought against the Taliban. If I hadn't listened to the podcast, I'd have only had the Inquirer story, and I think the blogosphere should be grateful to Bill Roggio for traveling to Afghanistan and doing some real reporting. It's well worth taking the time to listen. posted by Eric on 06.02.06 at 03:05 PM |
