I can't help you with the US-paper but I would like to seize the opportunity
to tell you that we got something like this since quite some time here in the FR
Germany. It's called "Zeitung gegen den Krieg" ("Newspaper against the war"),
and in April #10 has been published. However it doesn't deal exclusively with
Afghanistan but with Kosovo and Iraq too.It is distributed free e.g. as a part
of the leftist daily 'junge Welt'.
