In fairness to CNN, they later did a segment where a few afghan women stepped up the same day of the election and said they could not clean the same ink from their thumb and clothes (it looked like one appeared somewhat more upset the stain got on her clothes than on the fraud issue).

Also, if you looked closer, even though the thumb of the complaining youth (speaks english, imagine that) was generally clean, looking closely at the thumb-nail, you can still see the ink stains on the skin of the nail. And I suspect this was after using turpentine.

So Afghanistan was too cheap to have a computerized voter registration with printouts. So what? They have bigger concerns to deal with.

However, CNN initially gave the impression that the election was tainted with fraud, though I think they quickly backtracked later with more details --- the main opposition leader also backed off from his fraud claim, as reported by CNN.
