    Default Kandahar jail break

    A Taliban 'who dares wins' attack and hundreds of prisoners at liberty: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...ghanistan.html

    The last few paragraphs, from a Canadian need to be read:

    Yesterday Canadians reacted with dismay at seeing their prison project in ruins.

    "The message this attack sends is that the insurgents can act with relative impunity even into downtown Kandahar," said Colin Kenny, the head of the Canadian senate's committee on security and national defence, and a campaigner for more Nato troops to join the Afghan mission. The other message it sends is to the insurgent rank and file: if you get captured, we'll get you out."
