COMMENTS: There’s Lithium in Them There Hills
A couple of packages were filed from Afghanistan. ABC's Nick Schifrin covered the latest geological survey that claims $1tr in mineral deposits--lithium, iron, copper--lies unexploited in that nation. Schifrin ticked off just three problems with starting an Afghan Gold Rush: there is no infrastructure to get the wealth out; the government is corrupt; and there is a war going on. Speaking of which, NBC's Richard Engel is embedded with the USArmy's 82nd Airborne Division in the village of Arghandab in Kandahar Province. He filed footage of a 30-minute assault from Taliban guerrillas that required support by helicopter gunships to repel.
