Guy Jones

I was sad to see I overlooked the publication a couple of weeks ago of James Traub’s New York Times Magazine feature on the attempts by U.S. Army soldiers, operating under Canadian command, to get the whole counterinsurgency thing working in Arghandab, not far from Kandahar City. I ran into Traub and some of his subjects — Lt. Col Guy Jones, Hajji Jabbar, and the guy Jones referred to as “State Department Chris” — when I visited the Arghandab District Centre briefly in April.
