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.

The Bravery of Being Out of Range

Sir turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs
They’re really great
For righting wrongs
You hit the target
And win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away
3,000 miles away
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim
With the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We gained terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
With the bravery of being out of range
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range

As relevant today as it was 9 years ago.
