11 Dead After Bush Crashes in Afghanistan

23 minutes ago

KABUL, Afghanistan - A bus crashed after trying to overtake a slower vehicle on Afghanistan (news - web sites)'s resurfaced main highway on Thursday, killing 11 people and injuring 44, a doctor said.

The bus pulled alongside a truck 30 miles north of the southern city of Kandahar, on its way to the capital, Kabul, said Dr. Muhibullah Sidiqi of the Mirwais hospital in Kandahar.

The road was restored last year under a flagship reconstruction project funded by the United States. Hundreds of guards are protecting foreign and Afghan contractors laying a second layer of asphalt from Taliban attacks.


The work has already cut the journey time between Kabul and the main southern city from about 16 hours to six hours, though some Afghans complain the road is too narrow and that the absence of potholes and washouts encourages speeding.

5. freudian slip? -- more likely intentional mischief
by someone at yahoo.
I've noticed stuff like that before there where you would think it is an accident except that it always has a double meaning.
A couple of years ago they were running an article about Bush and instead of Bush's picture they had Cheney's for about an hour & then they fixed it but put Rumsfeld's picture in for another hour. They finally put Bush's picture in the spot after a few hours. It was one of those "accidents" that was just too perfect to not be intentional.
