A veteran of the Kabul airport arrivals building

There is a weird bit of terminological confusion today in the online Wall Street Journal's reporting of one of the Guantanamo show trials tribunals. The story's main page summary says:

Bin Laden's driver was arraigned at the first U.S. military tribunal since World War II, appearing at a pretrial session as defense lawyers sought to challenge the process.

but the text of the story (subs. req'd) has

Osama bin Laden's chauffeur was arraigned at the first U.S. military tribunal since World War II...

We suppose it wouldn't do for the main page to feature the idea of the Evil One having a chauffeur. Nevertheless, Osama's preference to be driven places is another demonstration of one of the classics of obscure Irish rock, the Fatima Mansions song: Only Losers Take the Bus. Even in Afghanistan.
