Great Article!

It does make me wonder about the guy that was from NY or NJ that shortly after 9-11 decided he was going to leave for Pakistan to help the Taliban in their Jihad. His mother had been one of the survivors of the WTC towers attack. Until I read the part in he MSNBC link that said this guy had been there for six months I wondered if it was him.

Thanks! News from inside has been scarce so this is welcome reading, even though brutal. Maybe we should send a few of the protestors over to see if we all just can't get along. It would educate them in a hurry.

I'm so proud of "Dave", the CIA guy. So brave and unselfish. The CIA has been Hollywood's favorite bad guy for as long as I can remember, and that's the image we've projected around the world of the CIA. "Dave" and Mike Spann are the reality.

Don't forget-the a-holes at Democraticunderground.commies think this was a US-coordinated execution of captured Taliban forces. They hate their own country more than we could ever imagine.

. One of the 86 told Alliance fighters he was an American. The 20-year old, who had been wounded in the leg, said he was from Washington DC. He would not give his name, but said that he was a convert to Islam who had come to Afghanistan — after a spell at a madrassa in Pakistan — to help the Taliban build a perfect Islamic government.

How many left Washington for another American city and are waiting for the right moment to kill a group of Americans? Or is your neighbor one of them? Keep your eyes and ears open!

This Rambo guy named Dave pops up alot in many stories of this battle. He should be awarded the Medal of Honor for his courage and selfless dedication at the risk of his own life. I am going to contact my congressman and have him look into this man's heroic acts and see if the US Army can put him in for the MOH.

This Dave is undoubtedly a soldiers soldier and must be the talk of all at Fort Bragg, NC.

Can't imagine living through it. The telling of it is gruesome enough. The article portrays very well the resolve and deviousness of the enemy. In war, enemies are supposed to be devious ... but there's something about American culture which flows in my veins that makes me draw back in horror at the way the al Qaida mindset works. No wonder the military has to train soldiers to kill and be vicious about it when the need arises. It doesn't come naturally to a civilized people.

Here’s some more information on the American Abdul Hamid Tale of an American Taliban

Here’s a quote from the article “When asked if he supported the September 11 attacks …”Yes, I supported it.”

[Colt .45]

'In a ditch on the main parade ground, a young Taliban fighter, lying sprawled on his side, was still breathing. An Alliance soldier dropped a rock on his head.'

Now that has a particularly homey touch of class to it. ;^) Winning a war means killing the enemy, by whatever method you must.

Absolutely riveting narrative...

The truth is often stranger than fiction, as this whole saga shows once again.

Interesting times, these.

Bump for one helluva read.

[aculeus]

Excellent reportage.
