...standard Afghan greeting for Soviet troops was to skin prisoners alive. Afghanistan is not for the fainthearted; Richard Kidd, a West Point graduate who has been in and out of the country for more than a decade, warned his classmates in a recent e-mail: "Sometime in this war I expect we will see videos of U.S. prisoners having their heads cut off." In conventional battle, the Taliban's soldiers would not scare the Army football team.

Maybe this book will explain how the word "genius" applies to that crudely-drawn dwarf's repetitious bumblings...
...Clowes, creator of "Eightball" and easily one of America's top five comix makers. It cost DC plenty to reject it, not only the kill-fee to Clowes, who said he would be "happy" to provide "inflammatory quotes," for this piece, but also the book's original designer, Chip Kidd, who quit in protest.
