Michael Yon (who may soon be filing a lawsuit against Michael Moore) forwarded this striking photograph from Afghanistan as an LGF exclusive:

We were 2 days drive from nearest paved road, and very deep in Taliban country. In case of serious attack, the nearest backup was probably too far away to matter.
