dewlineA lot of times of late, I've been letting the reports of the dead from Afghanistan go unremarked and that's been my mistake.
This time, Afghanistan suffered an undeserved loss, one of many, but this one happened to strike a bell in my memory. Her name was Malalai Kakar.
The part of the story that I know and am angered by thus far is here, thanks to the CBC. You will likely find more on her life in the years from the start of 2002 to its wrongly premature end elsewhere on the Web. My advice, based on half-remembered articles, would be to cross-reference against the Toronto Star.
Humanity lost a good one here.
