Slate: The Italian Lived, the Afghan Died
Sad news - the Afghan journalist Ajmal Naqshbandi who I blogged about two weeks ago "daniele vs ajmal" was beheaded sunday afternoon. So I wrote up something for Slate.
confession: It's very strange to reread that blog, written while in Kabul, nearing the end of my trip. And all the things that have happened to me since then - such as they are - while Ajmal sat with Taliban goons wondering what was going to happen to him. Yikes, I don't mean to be too grim, but what are you going to do.
Blogging from Washington DC, listening to the jackhammers on the sidewalk outside and the grumbling in my morning stomach.
