Taliban diggers and hackers

How the Taliban dug their way into a prison to free 500 prisoners:

A U.S. official giving a tour of the improved facility told reporters that the only chance of another escape was if the enemy “put a nuke on a motorcycle.”

The Taliban conceived a subtler strategy. A little more than a year after the assault on Sarposa, an insurgent whom the Taliban call Ihasan Ullah (no doubt an alias) came up with the idea to dig a tunnel from outside the prison rather than from within.

Bring it home…and see how it feels.

Or as Noam Chomsky said of Osama bin Laden’s assasination:

It might be instructive to ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic (after proper burial rites, of course).
