You are SO not worth a response, but seeing I' a bit bored at present, so 
I'll bite:

I assume you're referring top my posts on Chomfsky, "Barbara."  No, I 
welcome dissent, but I only value honest dissent.  Chomfsky makes up the 
facts as he goes to support his politics.  And doing this in Pakistan right 
now is a dangerous and despicable game.

>And, hey, how about that shooting-fish-in-a-bucket "victory" over the

"We" obviously gave them what they wanted: martyrdom.  I guess you would 
have rather that the forces were more equal so that a lot of US and Afghan 
forces were killed along with those Arab, Pakistan and Uzbekistan 
Taliban/AlQaeda.

("Among those believed to be leading the fighting from inside the prison is 
Tahir Uldosh, the deputy leader of the militant Islamic Movement of 
Uzbekistan, which has been linked to the Al Qaeda network, Afghan commanders 
said." http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/27/international/27CND-MAZA.html)

And did you really have to post the whole article from the Guardian below?  
Murthy's already asked nicely that we not do this.  A link and a few lines 
from the article would have sufficed.
