By targeting foreign civilians and restricting their ability to interact with locals, the Taliban is chiseling away at the fragile connections that keep Westerners committed, and Afghans happy to host them...
...right question to ask is, why is Congress playing this game at all? Should a crucial investigative arm of Congress, a body that has done admirable work probing the response to Hurricane Katrina, the actions of controverial security contractor Blackwater U.S.A, and corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff, among other important issues, care about Roger Clemens?
