AFGHAN RIOTS

Afghanistan's riots illustrate the brittleness of communications in a
newly freed society. Whether the 'QUORAN" was flushed down a toilet in
a Guantanamo Prison to 'mind-f***' the prisoners or a pig painted with
the image of an Ayatollah .. the message and problem is the same.

The United States will hold its personnel accountable for misjudgement
and wrongdoing -- that being so -- the Afghani people must receive that
certitude of that another process exists as a communication ... rather
than simply sustaining news of the spreading of a fireflaming rumor.

Like the Iraqi Abu-Gharib prison matter -- whether immediate or later --
the open and responsible press are one of the avenues to government
accountability -- and in our society -- it is an avenue as fast as and
much less destructive than rioting. Recurrently pressed, the matter
will go to the top ... and that is the matter which the Afghani as any
other people in a coupling of history with America must know.

Rumor control and use of the press must exist for trust.
