Daily Afghan news e-mail

From Paul Wells, just back from Afstan:

A handy bonus once I returned home was a reminder to sign up for Moby's daily Afghan news roundup [emphasis added], emailed every morning (very, very early in Canadian time zones). It's mostly Western sources, not Afghan, but that's hardly uninteresting.

A sample of this morning's stories: Taliban fighters penetrate close to Kandahar for the first time in five years and appear to capture the Gulistan district in Farah province; a World Bank report on drugs and corruption, themes that will be eerily familiar to readers of the next issue of Maclean's... and domestic and international coverage of the allegations of abuse of Canadian-captured prisoners in Afghan jails.

Which means, yes, this Canadian controversy is being followed in Afghanistan itself and by concerned Afghan-watchers around the world. In case anyone involved feels like governing themselves accordingly...

There's also this at Milnet.ca: "The Sandbox and Areas Reports Thread", at the top of the link (stories are posted from time-to-time during the day; the URL for the topic itself changes each month).
