In the Loop-The Latest Figures
Link to the "In the Loop" column of the Washington Post.
Al Kamen's write-up- "All those Afghans, give or take a few million"- sums up the latest significantly revised population figures. Down from 33.6 million to 28,396,000.

CIA had, apparently, relied on the US Census Bureau for its Afghan estimates.
I'm still looking at the UN figures in the 26.5 million range, so another 2 million remains in limbo, but the new figure is better than the old one.
Now, how are the changes allocated to the provinces, districts, metrics, etc...?
PS- Obviously, somebody outside of our circle actually reads this stuff.
