Good Morning. This is Your Wake-Up Bomb


Interesting how Pravda-Upon-Hudson waits until the fourth paragraph to add this little aside:

It was not clear if the bombings were timed to Mr. Gates’s visit, since there have been several hundred suicide bombings in Afghanistan over the last two years.

You'd think that "several hundred" might be considered, oh, I don't know, "newsworthy." But, then again, I'm no Joe Klein or David Broder...
