Losing Afghanistan
And losing the truth. Five years after the Afghan invasion, the Taliban are fighting back, carving out a sanctuary where they - and al Qaeda's leaders - can operate freely.... aw, look! Celebrity babies!

Nothing to see here, move along... Newsweek has scrubbed the cover of their US edition for October 2, 2006, reports Truthout.

The cover of international editions, aimed at Europe and other world regions, has maintained the original title of the story, "LOSING AFGHANISTAN: The rise of jihadistan." The cover for the United States edition features photographer Annie Leibovitz and is titled "My Life in Pictures." We offer the European edition cover and story here.
Yerp, things are going swimmingly, as a suicide bomb that killed 18 in southern Afghanistan proved this morning.

Meanwhile, the resurgent Taliban says Bin Laden is very much alive.
