The first picture below is from The Independent's front page on September 26. In light of the recent developments in Afghanistan, one wonders whether Independent's real concern is to cover up for a humiliating military defeat rather than caring for the well-being of Afghan women. In fact, the rabidly right-wing Mail on Sunday's front page on Afghanistan on October 1 paints a much less deceptive picture (see picture 2).
