From [kuro5hin.org]: Dangerous Places: Adventure

From [kuro5hin.org]:
Dangerous Places: Adventure Guide to Afghanistan. Dangerous Places (DP) by Robert Young Pelton is “a guide to moving about “safely” in the most war-torn, poverty-stricken, lawless places in the world.”

The article he has on Israel is out-of-date. Saddly, living here appears to have gotten much more dangerous since then…

Most of the commentators on Kuro5hin seem to think he’s full of crap.
