Ashdown
Nato has "lost in Afghanistan" and its failure to bring stability
there could provoke a regional sectarian war "on a grand scale",
according to Lord Ashdown.

[:..:] Lord Ashdown added: "I believe losing in Afghanistan is worse
than losing in Iraq. It will mean that Pakistan will fall and it will
have serious implications internally for the security of our own
countries and will instigate a wider Shiite [Shia], Sunni regional war
on a grand scale.

"Some people refer to the First and Second World Wars as European
civil wars and I think a similar regional civil war could be initiated
by this [failure] to match this magnitude." [:..:]

"What good fortune for those in power that the people do not think." --
Adolf Hitler

This is not what I went to war for twice:
Dozens of 'Ghost Prisoners' Not Publicly Accounted For
By Craig Whitlock Washington Post Foreign Service Saturday, October
27, 2007; A01

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - On Sept. 6, 2006, President Bush announced that
the CIA's overseas secret prisons had been temporarily emptied and 14
al-Qaeda leaders taken to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. But since then, there
has been no official accounting of what happened to about 30 other
"ghost prisoners" who spent extended time in the custody of the CIA.
