Another Restful Night

So yet another duck and cover last night some time after midnight.  Apparently the insurgents have decided that if they can't blow us up, they can at least stop us from getting our beauty sleep. And believe me, there are a fair number of people here who really, really need more beauty sleep. 

There was an attack yesterday in Khost, to the south and along the Pakistan border.  A couple of days before that there was an attack on the military hospital in Kabul.  Both involved suicide bombers, which appears to be an increasingly common tactic.  In the case of the military hospital, it also reportedly involved a stolen Afghan Army uniform.  That's not the first time the insurgency has had access to army or police uniforms, and that's a particularly worrisome development, since the entire strategy here hinges on being able to pass security responsibilities to Afghan forces.
