Cheney's Bagram Ghosts
Roger Morris begins:
"'I heard a loud boom,' Vice President Dick Cheney remembered of the suicide bomb at Bagram Airbase outside Kabul, where he stopped over this week. Said to be aimed at Cheney himself, the attack left him untouched while killing twenty-one Afghan workers and two Americans - still more casualties in Afghanistan's thirty-year, million-and-a-half-dead civil war. In that setting, one hopes Cheney heard symbolically more than a 'boom.' Bagram thunders with relevant ghosts, many of them American."
