Whie all this was going on I happened to catch an interview O'Really did with some Brit journalist who had been there. He said the Northern Alliance people were basically shooting anyone they captured who was not Afghani. There was also the report, about which little has been said since, that in the run-up to the prison rebellion where CIA guy Mike Span was killed, prisoners were being taken out and shot, thereby providing an obvious explanation for an otherwise suicidal act -- the same one for which 'Jihad Johnny' is on trial.

Speaking of the late and lamented Hakki, I'd like to remind people he ripped me for predicting a U.S. invasion of Iraq this year. The way things are going, I might have been off by only a month or so.
