#1 Two accused of a robbery case were killed in separate incidents of "crossfire" between police and their gang at city's Bayezid Bostami and Khulshi areas in the early hours yesterday.

This was by the POLICE, not our beloved RAB.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

#2 I'm starting to wonder if maybe Rantburg isn't a important part of a feedback loop. Could be the Banga web guys notice the US hits on certain stories and look for similar stories to publish to maximize hits.

#3 Ship-
You know, that's not entirely impossible. Consider that since the press and the net over there is either Government controlled or Government friendly, they might think the same thing is the situation here. (We used CNN to great effect like that in GW 1 against Saddam).
Of course, that leads one to the conclusion that they might think that the opinions on Rantburg are US Government policy....heh, heh, heh...

#4 Mike, if they do think that opinions posted here are indeed government policy, then perhaps they will start to understand the seriousness of the situation they have allowed to develop vis a vis their freedom fighters/mujahedin/jihadis/terrorists. And if they do begin to understand this, then perhaps they will do something to remove the problem before we remove it for them, permanently.

I'm ok with that.

#5 Wait a minute. You mean that some of you don't clear your postings here with the Asst. Dpy. Sec'y of State for International media? I always have been.

#6 My opinions are neither State Department nor Administration policy.

But if you'll donate to the launcher fund for my Orbital Mind Control Laser, my opinions could become official policy. And your opinions as well!
