Images of Afghanistan, in the wake of the latest military intervention, examples of the way simple objects suddenly loom, portentous and solitary, out of an otherwise empty landscape giving the feeling there is something hidden. A half-open door leading from darkness into a tiny office or classroom, and a succession of empty rooms, choked with rubble and bathed in the harsh white light. Man-made structures marked, wall by wall and fragment by fragment, with large, white and pedantically neat check marks presumably significant of some kind of successfully completed military activity: "Searched"? "Decontaminated"? "Mission accomplished"?
