Recent days have seen two troubling developments in Afghanistan. One is the closing of an opposition newspaper and the arrest of two reporters who criticized some of the country's leadership. In addition, the Taliban have named a new leadership council to coordinate their resistance to the U.S. and the Karzai government. I continue to worry about the situation in that country, which is where you actually find the people who attacked us on September 11 instead of those who might conceivably have attacked us at some point in the future.
