#2 Too bad we didn't do it. Sounds like a spiffy idea - except for the part about where he's allowed back in line and survives, of course.

#3 Given the locals fondness for car bombs, he's lucky they didn't turn his car into a convertible.

#4 Shah?

I used to work with a guy named Shah whose family was supposedly big in the Frontier areas.

#5 I thought it was an interesting article because I wasn't aware that Special Forces was in the habit of moving around in convoys in Pakiland.

#7 If I read this correctly, Shah's car is hauling ass and attemting to pass the convoy when oncoming traffic forces him back into the lane the convoy is occupying. This caused a collision and probably looked to the soldiers in the convoy like some kind of assault so they got their weapons ready, but analized the situtation and didn't shoot up Shah's car.

Pay your damn car repair and hospital bills and shut up Shah. Your driver was driving like a third world maniac around armed troops. You are lucky to be alive.

#9 I understand that American convoys in Iraq consider a car trying to butt into a convoy a potential IED. So this overtaking car could have been seen as a potential boom threat.

The guy's lucky he's still around to complain.
