    David:

    The article from Open Democracy was mostly a rewrite of one a long series of works C.J. Chivers has done over at the NYT regarding Taliban weapons and weapons use. They are very good.

    Regarding this quote from the Open Democracy piece:

    "eight were fifty-year-old bolt-action assault rifles"

    Bolt action assault rifles! Will wonders never cease. The NYT story said "bolt action rifles." That wasn't dramatic enough for Open Democracy I guess.
