As the walls exploded the insurgent responded by clipping on a fresh magazine and unloading it at them. The Australians returned fire and lobbed a grenade into the dark room.  The firing ceased. As they crept into the room they noticed a sight that will haunt them forever.  The suspected Taliban leader lay dead amongst a human shield comprising women and children. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Charlie Lynn) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/military-injustice-our-troops-should-not-be-charged/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/military-injustice-our-troops-should-not-be-charged/#item4194 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 19:55:20 +0000 Charlie Lynn | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Consultants-are-killing-Kokoda-Trail/ Kokoda has claimed more Australian lives this year than Afghanistan. During the last week two trekkers died on the Kokoda Trail, a couple more were evacuated by helicopter and fourteen went down with food poisoning.  Yesterday a campsite that took years to build at Ofi Creek was burned to the ground over an argument between two landowners. Land disputes now block the wartime trail over the ‘golden staircase’ and Iorabaiwa Ridge – the closest the Japanese army got to Port Moresby in 1942. The Kokoda Trail, which held so much potential as a model for sustainable eco-tourism in Papua New Guinea is beginning to choke on its own success. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Charlie Lynn) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Consultants-are-killing-Kokoda-Trail/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Consultants-are-killing-Kokoda-Trail/#item1426 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:55:21 +0000 Charlie Lynn | Author bios | The Punch
