imho its a hoax a fake. Why is the soldier wearing sun glasses, as if he’s trying to disguise himself and the taliban complaint is so not like them.

On one side of the image, it says: “An American soldier imprisoned by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.”

The Geneva Conventions, which regulate the conduct of war between regular armies, bar the use of detainees for propaganda purposes and prohibit signatories from putting captured military personnel on display. As an insurgent organization, the Taliban are not party to the treaty.

The media arm of the Afghan Taliban announced last week on an affiliated Web site that a new videotape of Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl was forthcoming.

So, if the Taliban is so organized that it has a MEDIA ARM, I guess they must be main stream? Do they hold regular press conferences? Do they have an office in Kabul? Inquiring minds want to know how AP gains access to them.
