I have a buddy in Afghanistan who very much needs info on the country. At one point, there were several bloggers in Afghanistan, but I don't know of any who are there now. Also, the best blog was Sgt Hook's, but that's disappeared into the ether. Could anyone help me out here? I would love to send him links to:

--Current Afghan milblogs
--Former Afghan milblogs (with the months/years in country for easier reading for him)
--Informative sites on Afghanistan's history, general as well as specifically military history

I'll be sending him a link to Chrenkof's "good news in Afghanistan" posts, which will be a good start for him. Right now I think he's just bored and is begging for stuff to read; if so, I'll inundate him with milblogs (hehehe). However, any help would be greatly appreciated!

As always, thanks, Greyhawk, for having such a nice place to come for chat/visit/good read (VBG).

oops. I clicked on the wrong comments section (sigh).

It was bound to happen.

They were deluged with incoming e-mails and I am not sure if there was any possible vetting process. It only takes one.

Any of those bloggers who requested and recieved the information work for the New York Times? That'd put an end to the mystery. They never met a secret they couldn't circulate (let alone publish).

Keeping secrets in the Blogosphere is next to impossible. Secrets run counter to the very essence of blogs and blogging to begin with.

At any rate, it is disappointing nonetheless.

Or...

The Board realized this and took a proactive approach via pre-emptive strike to ensure that it was at least reported with the correct (or desired) information.

I'd have considered that myself, but the only Board I am on answers to a 5-year old crumbsnatcher of a girl who loves the words "Yes", "OK" and "How about some Ice Cream".

I was being tongue-in-cheek on that one.
