The Ministry of Defence said on Wednesday the men had been killed on Tuesday in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province, on the border of Kandahar just north of the provincial capital Lashkar Gah.

It had been spitting with rain for the last half-hour, and now it began to pour in good earnest.

As the hour grows late, I know that I'm going to have to get him out of here so I can clean and defunkify this bedroom.

Hence law is intelligence without appetition.
