It is terribly revealing, terribly sad. It seems so contrary to my vision of contemporary Afghanistan, and I consider myself to be well motivated to keeping informed and up-to-date on matters worldwide. It reminds me also of the current crisis in Kenya, a country that was so below the radar of most Africa watchers. Please let us know what can be done to help directly communicate to the authorities in Kabul and in the particular region, to spare this man's life. Who would be best to write to in the U.S. State Department? These people are in power because of our taxpayers' dollars. And this is a cause to rally hard around. I myself will do a bit of research to obtain some email addresses for the government of Afghanistan, and for some higher-ups at the U.S. embassy there. Thank you so much for this missal. In Peace.
