I'll go along with the crowd. But here's my 2cents :
I vote for shaded relief overhead view with villages rivers and roads with several villages marked, but not too cluttered. Maybe an ocassional two dimensional rendering of the three dimensional elevation models.
monitor resolution? 1024 x 768 (but can be adjusted)
I can zoom in on your maps now.
connection is cable
A couple of possible road & trail systems might be nice, but they definitely need to be distinguishable from known main roads.
According to this Nek was targeted on demand from Kabul.
The next question is what to do with these prisoners? I guess that my advice not can be considered PC...

650 prisoners still want to wage Jihad
ISLAMABAD: As many as 650 Pakistani prisoners in Afghan jails have threatened that they would launch Jihad when they were set free, said Abdullah Abdullah, Afghanistan Foreign Minister, here Wednesday.
"These prisoners are determined to strike against the US and Kabul governments", he said. He was talking to journalists here on Wednesday morning during a breakfast meeting.
He said the prisoners made their intention known to Kabul officials and American investigators who met them before deciding about their fate. He said this caused delay in the release of these detainees.
However, the minister said the Americans had completed the process of screening and cleared majority of the prisoners, who would be handed over to Pakistan.
He said, "It will be interesting to see that how Pakistani government deals with those defiant prisoners who are still ready to fight and die in the name of Jihad."
He said the Wana operation is in the interest of both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
He said the operation would end penetration of armed militants into Afghanistan from Pakistan. He added "Kabul really expects more" from Islamabad in this regard.
He claimed that Neik Mohammad was targeted on the insistence of Kabul that considered him responsible for infiltrations and disturbances in Afghanistan.
Abdullah was accompanied by top aides and the Kabul ambassador to Pakistan.
