Pakistan and Afghanistan: interdependent, distrustful neighbours
The relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan is a lot more complex than described in the stories of ISI goons
Michael Semple
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 27 July 2010 11.15 BST
No one should be surprised that 180 of the leaked intelligence reports sound alarm bells about the involvement of Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service in Afghan insurgency. Plenty such alarm bells have been sounded in the public domain already. But it is important that policymakers draw the right conclusions.

Joplin Globe Staff Writer
JOPLIN, Mo. — It’s a good thing when David Rhinehart says he’s bored, said his wife, Misty.
“I’m always happy when he calls and says they’re back at the base and complains that he’s bored,” said Rhinehart, whose husband is in Afghanistan with the 203rd Engineer Battalion of the Missouri National Guard. “That always makes me feel good because I know he’s not in any danger.”

The Networker
Afghanistan’s first media mogul.
by Ken Auletta
July 5, 2010
Every day in Kabul, politicians and journalists in search of information come to a barricaded dead-end street in the Wazir Akbar Khan district to see Saad Mohseni, the chairman of Moby Group, Afghanistan’s preëminent media company. At the last house on the right, burly men carrying AK-47s lead them up creaky stairs to a small second-floor office. Mohseni, a gregarious man with a politician’s habits, often stands up to greet visitors with a hug, then returns to his desk, where a BlackBerry, two cell phones, and a MacBook Air laptop are constantly lit up; fifteen small flat-screen TVs, set to mute, are mounted on the office walls.
JUNE Soldier & NCO of the Month
Soldier of the Month (Support)
SPC Rominger has stepped up and proven himself to be a true asset to the CLP mission. Over the past month he was a critical piece in the completion of a three week mission. He assisted in keeping 11 haul asset trucks 100% FMC during 11 tactical movements that covered over 1,000 miles. Upon arriving at each FOB, SPC Rominger assisted in the completion of any required maintenance to include replacing their CREW systems and changing several tires.
During the last mission SPC Rominger assisted with three recoveries. The first recovery was a M916 tractor trailer which was disabled during a TIC. The M916 was put on its own trailer then placed on another M916 tractor trailer. The second recovery was a Husky that lost all it’s power. SPC Rominger oversaw the rearrangement of loads to ensure there was space to haul the Husky. The third recovery was a MRAP that became NMC due to the fire suppression system going off in the middle of a movement.
