Pre-EU Mayday Press Propaganda! Oh YES! - Associated Newspapers in Ireland

16-02-2004 18:42

front page IoS
"ARMY ON STANDBY FOR RIOT" - Who could forget that screaming hysterical pre-Mayday 2000 Evening Standard headline, and all the other classics we've seen!

As Ahmed Rashid, superb reporter and author of the authoritative book Taliban, has written recently in the New York Review of Books, there's a reason why. Most of the country remains a failing non-state. Rashid recently went back to Afghanistan, essentially to retrace a trip he took in 1994-95 when he first covered the Taliban, a bizarre movement largely created by the Pakistani intelligence services and jihadis whose oppressive version of "Islam" bore little relation to anything Afghans had ever known.
