Jail Break
Early this morning, Afghan time, 476 prisoners escaped from a prison in Kandahar. The terp in our office says the local talk shows are having a field day with this. The corruption and incompetence of the Karzai government is exposed for all to see.
Another story, says ISAF has arrested or killed 453 "militant leaders" this year. So the bad guys are up 23 so far? Is this indicative of the future here?

Rule of Law in Afghanistan
"You must, therefore know that there are two means of fighting: one according to the laws, the other with force; the first way is proper to man, the second to beasts; but because the first, in many cases, is not sufficient, it becomes necessary to have recourse to the second." -- Niccolo Machiavelli (from The Prince)
