NBC anchor broadcasting, blogging from Afghanistan


NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, who got his start at KOAM, is broadcasting and blogging from Kabul, Afghanistan:

A striking event took place on our interesting final approach to landing. While we were banking hard to line ourselves up with the runway, I looked down at a goat herder tending a modest flock on steep mountain terrain outside Afghanistan. It was a tableau that could easily have been from 2,000 years ago. At exactly that moment, my Blackberry vibrated to life in its holster on my belt, filling up with overnight emails from New York and elsewhere. A wireless society. A confusing, changing place.
