Being the executive chef at Osama bin Laden's "Star of Jihad" base was once considered a stepping stone to bigger things, but Ibrahim al-Qosi got 14 years in Gitmo for running the kitchen there. He's expected to serve two years.

Wikileaks is sitting on as many as 15,000 more Afghanistan war documents, according to the Washington Post. And these are "potentially more explosive" than the 91,000 records already out there. What's Wikileaks founder Julian Assange about to drop?

Cartoons now feature more reporting than anything else on your newspaper's op-ed page.

Taliban militants have claimed responsibility for killing 10 medical aid workers, six of them Americans, in northern Afghanistan.

Journalist Michael Hastings—whose article led to Gen. Stanley McChrystal's firing—was denied a Afghanistan embed spot. Why? The Pentagon thought he wouldn't "abide by the ground rules," which are "make fun of Joe Biden" and "bring Bud Lite Lime."

Congressman Mike Rogers, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, told a Michigan radio station that he thinks Pfc. Bradley Manning, if found guilty of giving classified military videos and documents to Wikileaks, should be executed for treason.

As though yesterday's leaked military documents didn't paint a bleak enough picture of our Afghanistan adventure, meet the stoner cops of the Arghandab province—members of an Afghan police force receiving a $27 billion international investment.

Last night, Wikileaks—which is not a classic professional media organization!—got one of the biggest scoops of the year with its trove of documents on the Afghanistan war. The day-later meta-media insta-reaction: "That's not such a scoop, meh."

Wikileaks' Julian Assange is still alive. And he's sifting through "several million more" documents following yesterday's dump of 92,000 war diaries. Even by magical white rabbit standards, he's a busy one, and his operation is going to get larger.
