…for our friend and colleague Gabriele Torsello, who has been abducted in Afghanistan. If you're a journalist, he's your colleague, too. Nicknamed 'Kash', he is a good man, as compassionate as he is courageous; a photojournalist who has only ever tried in his work to reveal the truth of human love and of human suffering. His work, in Kashmir and Nepal and elsewhere, is here:

And the latest on the story of his abduction is here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,,1926520,00.html
That his kidnappers want to swap Gabriele, a Christian who became a Muslim, for an Afghani Muslim who became a Christian, reveals somehow the absurdity of those labels and illuminates the greater failings of religious hatred.
I know we argue the war in general terms here, and as a sidebar to political theory. But however you may feel about this war, or about God, please hold Kash in your heart.
