For those who did not get it, This was a story by a Turkish journalist, who for 42 days lived amongst the Taliban and reported on the war from there. He isn't really a Taliban ok?

Crack me up.

Fascinating article - and good translation job, too.

I guess it's encouraging that he was not solicited by supporters wanting to assist a perceived fellow-jihadist.

What I find a little disconcerting is the acceptance of the "Taliban." They found him amusing, not alarming. I'm glad he is not being chaired through the Galatasaray Lyceum, but I find the snickers make me a little uneasy.

OTOH, the fishermen's reaction did not surprise me. He would have got the same lack of reaction at the docks in Gloucester, MA, Kemah, TX, or even Greece. Fishermen's indifference to Anything Not Fish is legendary, and virtually a universal constant.
