Jarring title. When you said PA, I thought you meant the Press Asscoation:
http://www.pa.press.net/
It will be interesting what sort of news comes out of Afghanistan in the
coming days. With so little independent collaboration on the ground (less
than there was in Iraq) I expect both the coalition and the Taleban will
just feed us what they want.

| (...) I would agree with that. However I expect the truth value of what the coalition says to be a bit higher (they will omit rather than lie, I would expect... not always, but much more than the Taleban) (23 years ago, 8-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
