child blown up in Afghan minefield, video at 11

[Doug Millison]

I freely admit that I'm not working as a reporter on the Afghanistan border
anywhere.  But I do have access to press reports from a variety of sources
-- you could, too, if you cared to expose yourself to something besides
Bush Administration propaganda.  Newspapers and broadcast outlets around
the world, both mainstream and independent, have reported the fact that
millions of people are hungry in Afghanistan,  that the U.S. attack has
interfered with and sometimes brought to a halt shipment of humanitarian
aid to these unfortunate people, that the U.S. food drop is ineffective and
dangerous,  the danger of food drops over minefield, the risk this poses to
women and children especially.  I guess you won't be satisfied until you
have color video footage of an Afghani child being blown up while racing
after one of those inedible food packets in a minefield.  But I think most
people are willing to accept the warnings of people on the ground that this
will happen if it hasn't happened already.

Malign:
"The point is that Millison has no such information."


No, the point is on the top of your skull, where similarly-minded folk used
to try to count dancing angels.  And the rock is where your heart ought to
be.
