From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:We Will Laugh Last
The Taliban have imprisoned a French journalist, calling him a spy. The link above is to Paris Match, which has a long article on Osama Bin Laden's background and the only picture of bin Laden laughing that I have ever seen. The article seems a bit on the "charming rogue" side, but my French isn't good enough to judge. As you might have guessed, the article was published before the capture of journalist Michel Peyrard.
