To many Americans, the fact that Christian converts face prosecution in a country "liberated" by the U.S. in 2002 has bolstered the perception that the divide between Islam and the West is growing. Ansarullah Mawlavezada, the judge in charge of Rahman's fate, defends the independence of the Afghan judiciary. "In the West you allow two women to get married because that is the law, and I respect that. In Afghanistan we have Shari'a law, and the people respect and accept this," he told TIME last week.

With ever more chilling surety, there is barely any quarter being given in this war. Every foreigner breathed a gentle sigh upon news of their rescue, paused darkly over the fate of Tom Fox, and held one more quiet thought for American journalist Jill Carroll, 28, still out there. Somewhere. Here, even high points come with jagged edges...
...into? Cabot? Hey, that’s great! I heard they have a lot of “community”??? Psych, kill yourself! Once again it’s that exciting time of year when freshmen receive a packet of paper that decides their housing fate. For everyone involved, housing assignments are slightly more stressful than getting your SAT scores and slightly less stressful than opening up the results to your post-spring break syphilis test. As we’ve been through this inferno before, the Bell Lap can be your latter-day Virgil and help...
