More on the Great Escape of Kabul

Ed. has been doing a bit of fact-checking, or should I say sifting through the various and varied reports of last weekend's escape of nearly 500 Taliban and other riff-raff from the central prison in Kabul, the shining capital of Afghanistan.

A couple of days ago, Walt passed on the news that the number of escapees was around 800, not 480 as first reported. Wrong! [Walt wrong? Incredible! Ed.] Turns out the original number -- 480 -- was correct. The 800 mentioned in the follow-up escaped last year.

Canadian Prime Minister "Call me Steve" Harper said he found the news from the sandpit disappointing, but that we (meaning NATO, I guess) must "keep plugging away". Agent 3 suggests Harper could start by plugging the hole in the floor (see pic from the first story) with his fat ass. Agent 3 is obviously not a Conservative!
