Violence Roils Afghanistan Days Before Election – NYTimes.com

The Taliban and the Afghan government escalated a war of attrition and propaganda on Tuesday, two days before the presidential election, with the Taliban unleashing suicide bombings and a rocket assault at the presidential palace and the government barring news organizations from reporting on election day violence.

Because if you don’t report it… it didn’t happen, right?

I wonder if Gen. McChystal got a say in this decision.
