Inside Afghanistan
Many of you may remember the post about VBS's Vice Guide to North Korea, a fascinating look behind the total insanity of the no longer terrorist "democratic" country. Now they're back with an absolutely fascinating look into the war in Afghanistan with special guest, BBC reporter Ben Anderson. Suffice it to say, I'm not feeling all that hopeful for the future after watching members of the Afghan National Army get stoned on opium and waste ammunition on the air.
Anyway, very interesting stuff for those of you that haven't been completely consumed by the economic crisis. And spend some time poking around the rest of the site. Spike Jones is the creative director over there, which should give you some idea of the quality of content.
I went out with the ANA out west and they absolutely kick ass:

See a different side of the story :)
But hey, I was there, what would I know.
