In a stunning revelation Pamela Constable of the “Washington Post” reported that a recent car bomb in Qalat, Afghanistan indicates the presence of Taliban in that region. This came as a shock to the world who believed otherwise. Andrew King, a security analyst with the Department of Defense, said “This is such a shocker that even the bigwigs at DoD were floored by the revelation. Unlike other news sources like New York Times, BBC, CNN etc, Washington Post always has creative and explosive stories. I don’t know how they do it I’m sure you could not have guessed that the Taliban was still alive in Afghanistan. We thought they had all left the mountainous area for the coast. I mean who can resist the sea?”
The excitement in the journalist community was equally high and was well represented in the words of Tim Russert, of “Meet the Press”, who said “It is unbelievable!! I have to admit that I’m a little jealous of Pamela. I wonder where she came with such an amazing story and none of had an idea. I for one never thought the Taliban was still in Afghanistan, it is like having black people in Sweden. I have heard the news of cars blowing up mysteriously, our soldiers getting killed but the widely accepted theory was that Aliens from the Alpha Centauri galaxy were causing the havoc.”
While the whole world is trying to digest this amazing news Ms. Constable is already working on a story where she is expected to report that millions are starving in Africa which has already turned a number of heads around the world. It is rumored that a number of Sudanese were surprised to learn that their next door neighbors are starving. It is expected that Ms. Constable would earn the “Pulitzer Prize” for 2006.
Peace
