Rindy tells me you live out of the general reach of the Junta gatherings, pity because it would be great to have you join us. I believe I first head about the Holbrooke's Kashmir controversy in the New Yorker article I reference in the top of my post. But I've since heard a lot about it, it was talked about on the sidelines of the event, people generally laughing about how shrewd he was in handling the dorky Paki journalist. Here is a link to a story referencing Kashmir being taken out of Holbrookes', uh, portfolio. http://www.dawn.com/2009/01/31/top4.htm Hey Simon,

Long time time reader, first time poster. This is the best junta out there right now after Myanmar. I'm also a friend of your fellow junta leader, Rindy Portfolio. Interesting take on the Holbrooke talk. Shame that Peter Tosh never wrote a song about poppy cultivation before this military campaign. I also would have enjoyed the Pam Constable dress-down. But dude, where did you glean this info? "Holbooke was originally supposed to have Kashmir as a part of his portfolio but when the Indians got wind of it they went ballistic and it was taken away from him." Also nice use of the word Portfolio. Simon Flavin Jeremy,
