In USMA 18794 Carleton regaled us with a long despatch from the Washigton Post about the war in Afganistan, and repeated it in HTML. It appeared to be a quote from ABC television. The point of Carleton's posting would seem to be the mention of "35 miles", 500 yards, and 10 000 feet, which were presumably translations of the original interview with US General Franks who probably said 55 km, 500 m, and 3000 m.
