Afghanistan: A voice from the grave

A heartbreaking voice from the grave.

Tom Little was an optometrist who was among 10 members of a medical aid group found shot to death in Afghanistan on Friday by suspected Taliban members.

Little was profiled in a May 2003 report from NPR's Michael Sullivan.

"It seemed dishonest and shameful," Little said when he was asked why he didn't leave Afghanistan . The interview was far from an embracing of the U.S. role there.

He'll be buried in Afghanistan.
