British officials covered up evidence that a Taliban commander killed by special forces in Helmand last year was in fact a Pakistani military officer, according to highly placed Afghan officials.

The plot thickens.
Imagine that, a Muslim lied about who he was really working for! I am schocked! NOT REALLY!

if 0.025 - 1 % are supporting Taliban/Al Qaida etc...
what exactly is the point of all this
what if its more then that
I read a funny interview by a member of the western press with a high-ranking Taliban leader in Pakistan; a huge voume of gunfire erupted on a building down the street from the interview:
Apparently, Pakistan security forces are sympathetic to the Taliban cause, but do feel some political and financial pressure to “keep up appearances”.
So they fire into buildings they KNOW to be free of Talib, and indeed free of any people at all.
And it’s all a big charade, as spontaneous as Kabuki, and everyone in fact does know what is going on.
Just damn!
He must have been visiting./s
Keeping up appearances indeed!
Not surprised....
The Pakistani military & ISI are riddled with Taliban sympathizers
pong
Exactly!
He was a Muslim...which means he was a liar...which means he has no respect for British or Americans and wishes us dead. There are no good Muslims except those that have gone to receive their 72 virgins in their god’s whorehouse.
That is worthy of a double post, Sir!
If not, I can email it to you.
Sickening.
So what was the difference?
LOL! Shocked, simply shocked!
