Cherie Blair, the wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, was in Afghanistan yesterday for a series of meetings focused on judicial reform and women's empowerment, the British Embassy said. Blair, a human rights lawyer, met President Hamid Karzai and also his wife, Zinat, on her daylong trip from Pakistan. "During both meetings she discussed a variety of issues, including human rights in Afghanistan, reform of the justice sector, and empowerment of women," the embassy said in a statement.

#4 JFM: Please tell me that mug shot is NOT a smile. I vote for industrial-strength, rip-stop burka. Agree with post, as Mrs, Head of State, she may be an impo't'nt persoan, but carries no official weight. |

#3 The other problem is what is she doing in Afghanistan. Someone should remind both to to her and Tony Blair that the spouse of a prime minister has got no mandate from the people to represent it so she is a Mrs Nothing. Her duty is to smile and shut up. And that allowing her to intervene in politics just because she married the PM has a name: nepotism. |

#2 Nah, I won't wish a burka on anyone--just a paper bag would do. (What on earth happened to Tony when he married this creature? I mean, she is not only awfull to look at, but total cucoo to boot--some people may be not pretty but at least have some mental capacity, or loonies, but somewhat presentable physically) |
