This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Oh, it's not just the Taliban. Just what did our "liberation" of Kuwait do
for women there? They still can't drive. And just watch one, hot and weary,
try to sit down at a cheap sidewalk cafe to order a Coke. The cafe won't
serve "their kind." (Maybe she could be served in Egypt and Morocco--I'm no
expert.)
