Hi all; US mil web site allows you to chart where attacks are being made, and what types. Of particular interest is the humanitarian aid, which seems to be primarily dropped around Mazar-e Sharif. My suspicion is that the food aid is being dropped more for military reasons than humanitarian ones:

For instance:
October 28, NW of Mazar-e-Sharif:
defenselink.mil

To see how the targeting has changed through the campaign, go to this site and then click on the day of interest:
defenselink.mil

The mpegs are also collected there, for instance:
defenselink.mil

Also off topic, a good slide show showing the damage to the Pentagon:
defenselink.mil

P.S. It's bad enough that people are being killed in this conflict, do we have to have "collateral damage" to the English language as well? It was bad enough when "anthrax" was turned into a verb, but this is too much:

An acronym of a noun becomes an adjective: "Mr. Secretary, one quick MIRV'd one."
