Yep.

Better to erase the footage than to erase journalists."

There are times when I want both to happen..

This kind of action on the part of journalists would never happen if we were operating under WWII mentality.

We'll be reaping the consequences of an educational curriculum focused on self-esteem for decades to come.

[R. Scott]

Unfortunately I believe you are right. Back in my day the emphasis was on learning, not self esteem.

[freema]

Geez, I suppose they want access to all the restricted photography areas on US military bases, too.

Thanks, lily. I went back and added a keyword of "AfghanHighway" to all the threads I could find. I also set up a Afghan Highway page online to track the news.

No, thank you for keeping everything neatly organized!

[RedRover]

I’m pretty sure there were other threads. If you spy them, please add the “AfghanHighway” keyword if I haven’t beaten you to it.

[lilycicero]

I can do that.

Thanks, shippy!
