...supplies into areas where fleeing Afghans have gathered. The World Food Program trucked the first 400 tons of grain into Faryab and Balkh, northern Afghanistan, since deliveries were suspended after the Sept. 11 bombings. Aid workers estimated that they would have to provide 55,000 tons a month to feed all 6 million people thought to be in need. Another threat to the refugees appeared in the Pakistan border town of Quetta, where 75 people have caught Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, an Ebola-like disease that causes victims to bleed to death from the body's orifices. Seemingly anxious...
...this time of “emotional vulnerability,” I find it disturbing that Grizzle should so blatantly and ruthlessly continue to proselytize. I have not insulted him in these trying times by trying to force-feed him my worldview. I hope that I could expect the same respect and courtesy from him, but apparently I cannot.

...surprising. Since its inception five years ago, Al Jazeera (its name means "the Peninsula" in Arabic) has been the toast of Western media. American newsmagazines (including TIME) and newspapers sang the praises of the channel's defiantly novel approach to reporting news in the Middle East. Rather than feed its audience the officially-sanctioned, cookie-cutter version of events typical of the region's state-owned networks, Al Jazeera gives equal time to dissident, even revolutionary views of Islam, human rights and the governments of the region. And such irreverence has naturally earned it plenty of enemies among the authoritarian...
Leading the charge is Cameron Gray, a paunchy Texan with a booming laugh, who greets the startled street people in rapid-fire Spanish. Checking a nearby culvert for more mouths to feed, he spots a bedraggled young woman lying, arms outstretched in the dirt, with three young daughters sleeping by her side. Gray dispenses food and then reaches into a bag for three Beanie Babies. "It's people like these, who are the hardest to help, that need our help the most," he remarks...
