Odd behavior of comments

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

If anyone is having difficulty reading or posting comments, I apologize. I’m not sure what’s going on. Everything is present on my comment control, but some postings have temporarily (I hope) disappeared, the comment numbers have mysteriously decremented, and the RSS feed for the comments is really fouled up. Haloscan has behaved oddly in the past and then corrected itself. Let’s hope it will again.

Afghan gulag

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

“People who have been arrested say they’ve been brutalised — the tactics used are beyond belief.”

This is outrageous — Afghanistan is “One huge US jail”. The country “is the hub of a global network of detention centres, the frontline in America’s ‘war on terror’, where arrest can be random and allegations of torture commonplace.”
