Still unclear whether it was an accident or a bomb, but 7 G.I.s were killed in a munitions explosion, and 1 is still "missing":

Ahh, there are few things in this world like an enthusiastic soldier.
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams. - Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo |

Given the huge mess in Iraq, the smaller one in Afghanistan is mostly staying under the radar in the news, but word that an American security contractor (read: mercenary) killed his Afghan interpreter is not exactly winning over hearts and minds to democracy. Also, the latest American soldier killed brings the total since the invasion up to 198.

Here's a really well done site on the power players in Afghanistan.

President Karzai sacks dozens of senior police chiefs for their inability to contain the anti-U.S. riots, while military forces in the south repulse recent Taliban advances.

The U.S. military recently declined the option of killing 100 Taliban insurgents because they were attending a funeral at the time of their gathering.

Huh, just read the above. Odd, because that never stopped them in Iraq, where uninvolved weddings have been a popular target.
Meanwhile, NATO General Says He Expects Afghans to Want a Return to Taliban. |

Bush's new pick for Defense Secretary is being portrayed as more moderate, and who's to say that isn't possible, however, there's no denying he can create a powerful, stubborn fighting force. Why look what he created for Afghanistan when he was working for the Reagan administration in the CIA!
