#1: A Japanese journalist has been kidnapped in Afghanistan, Japan's chief cabinet secretary said on Friday, after media reports saying the freelancer had gone missing in the northern city of Kunduz. Kosuke Tsuneoka, a 40-year-old freelance journalist who is a Muslim, has been in Afghanistan since mid-March to cover the Taliban, Japanese media reported. It was unclear who the kidnappers were.

Dancewater; you constantly ridicule the phrase "they hate us for our freedom" Do you have an idea of what is meant by that? Do you give it any credibility at all? Can you explain what people mean when they say that? Does it mean anything at all?
we have some evidence above of what a REAL America-hater sounds like.
And the phrase "they hate us for our freedoms" is bullshit. Always has been, always will be.
Twenty-three prisoners convicted of terrorism charges escaped from a prison in Iraq's turbulent city of Mosul on Friday, police said.
The inmates fled through a hole they made in a wall at Ghazlani prison in the southern area of the city, which is an al Qaeda stronghold about 390 km (240 miles) north of Baghdad. The escape happened in the morning but prison guards did not discover it until the afternoon, police said.

wonder why they did not discover it until the afternoon?

the US will go on supporting them as long as they tow the corporate line.... if they stop doing that, they will be GONE!!
just like Saddam - our friend in the 1980's, stopping doing what the US says - and WHAT THEY SAYS GOES - so he had to go.

It is likely that Sadr's block will decide who ends up Prime Minister, so they let their people vote for who they should support - and organized this in less than 5 days without any help from the current government.
That is interesting.

are they really "al Qaeda"?
take this with a grain of salt:
Several recent joint Iraqi-U.S. security operations have resulted in the deaths or arrests of at least six suspected senior al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) leaders who greatly contributed to funding the terrorist group by their involvement in a highly-organized extortion and assassination ring based in the northern-Iraq city of Mosul.

Six Afghans (that are pro-Karzqi government) were killed by 'friendly fire' from German soldiers who are occupying Afghanistan.
Does not say how many Afghans (that are anti-Karzai government) were killed.
Sure does show that the foreign troops in Afghanistan don't know what they are doing.....
