#5 From a Radio Free Europe interview a year ago:

Even as Karzai was meeting with Rumsfeld on September 25, Musharraf was staking out his position -- which he made public in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Musharraf told that audience that it is impossible for Taliban leaders to have their headquarters in Quetta.

"Quetta is the capital of Baluchistan," Musharraf said. "Quetta has today a provincial assembly functioning. We have a military corps headquartered there with two divisions there. There is no question that any Taliban headquarters there. This is the most ridiculous statement and it is the most ridiculous that the Taliban headquarters can be in Quetta."

#6 Let Sarhadi go again. Make them think he, as well as others coming from Guantanamo Bay may be on the take.

#8 The only good thing I learned from a boss who was otherwise a force of evil is that you get what you inspect, not what you expect.

#13 interesting read, Kojo, but I don't believe that AQ and the Taliban have parted ways like it says - that's spin for PR consumption.

#17 btw - there are quite a few Brits on RB, and they all seem quite aware of the threat. Our French contributors, JFM and A3089 are also well versed. Good on all of ya's and spread the word!

#18 re the enemy threat: Paul we have a special squad here at the 'Burg..Its members are to numerous to list, but the retrograde types really don't stand a chance...

No blood spilled usually.. we just put a few lumps on 'em and then cart 'em off to the dump.

#19 I'm so glad you finally decided to take a real name, Paul. I apologize to all of you who have one of the really cool names generated by Fred's anonymizer (and they are cool! Soooo much better than the Anonymous1234, Anonymous1235, Anonymouse1236 that we had before), but with my poor memory I can't remember which one of you is who.

And a big hurrah! for all our British correspondents -- we are fond of the cousins. The rest of y'all too, of course, but just now we're celebrating an official addition to the British contingent. ;-)
