When U.S. forces do hook up with human informers, they are sometimes led astray. "The Americans made alliances with unsavory characters," says a top Afghan security official. He says some locals use U.S. firepower to settle old tribal scores. Special-forces teams have sometimes relied for information on warlords who had terrorized territories before the Taliban; the villagers refuse to cooperate with old enemies. At other times, intelligence relayed to U.S. agents has been deliberately tainted.

That exercise in poor syntax was recently covered by the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, another band in the growing crowd of NYC art-punks, whose flamboyant lead singer Karen O dates the flamboyant lead singer of The Liars, Angus Andrew?...
...means less romance—less courting, less tension, less excitement. Relations between women and men are rather unerotic. The hormones are there; so too the attractions of youthful bodies and the permission to experiment. The result is lots of sex (or so I hear): recreational sex, loveless sex, hook-ups. There is more consummation and less yearning...
