re: #84 Gus
I think the general reaction from everybody, or at least in the USA, is being a little bit stumped. All they did was read a statement and not much else. Kind of pissed me off a little but. Never liked Karzai.
I think it’s because (A) It’s Sunday and many of the analysts for US/UK outfits are off work, (B) The student supposedly abducted and killed was tortured in ways that the US does not engage in (ripping off whole fingers is far more crude than we need to be, but its the kind of cruelty Al Qaeda enjoys) (C) It’s pretty heavily at odds with how Obama has stated he wants to do business.
