The most funny thing is that the afghan gov is apparently using yahoo(!) for internal(!) mails*. Nuts! If this is really the case, its also likely that terrorists read their mails. Afghan gov should get some assistance in building a secure and strong communication infrastructure which should be a task for ISAF. (Might be they did and also installed additional "important NATO extensions". Version 2.0 of course.) But as always, the truth is probably completely different. :) l8er, S. * I wonder whether yahoo permits to read mail w/o setting some flag of the message to "already-read". Otherwise one will notice surveillance. I am not familar with their mail-setup and whether they maybe allow pop3 w/o deleting the messages which would cross around the problem of flagging mails by reading them in the web GUI.
