#1 My bet is Rantburg is one of the very top entries in the Bangla Star's referrer logs. Some enterprising Rantburger ought to call the managing editor there and ask him if the reporting and editorial staff follow Fred's interlinear comments with glee, or otherwise get him to comment on the formulaic code they use in these stories and how it's understood locally. Would be interesting.

#2 Hmm, think the BDS would send Fred a commemorative shutter gun?

#6 Naaah, guys and gals, Fred deserves the best - a self-propelled 155MM howitzer.

#7 Let us most sincerely hope, Old Patriot, that even Bangladeshi reporters do not have such things lying about for gifting to foreigners.
