The AfPakInd Channel?

~ Michael A. Innes ~ 3 Comments

Anyone interested in tracking that other interested party to AfPaK issues – namely, India – should really read friend Eric Randolph’s blog, The Kikobor.

He’s been posting and publishing regularly, at the blog, in Britain’s Guardian newspaper and in Jane’s Intelligence Weekly.

If his new profile photos are any indication, it’s been a maturing experience, too. Seriously, he’s grown a very distinguished beard. It makes all the difference, I think…
