Captured Taliban soldiers look out from the window of a prison in Panjsher Valley, the Northern Alliance military stronghold, September 25, 2001. The United States, moving to isolate Afghanistan's Taliban rulers as it prepares to hit them militarily, scored a diplomatic coup when Saudi Arabia cut ties with the Muslim regime.

Those are the happiest looking prisoners and the flimsiest looking jail cell I've seen in a long time.

I understand the Taliban is kidnapping a lot of men from villages to serve in the war. These guys may really be happy!

I dunno... That's looks like the extra-heavy-duty plastic they've got up. That stuff must be at least 3 mils thick!

Looks like the jail cell is built out of 2x2's, visqueen, and conduit attached only at the bottom. This is really a bizarre photo.

Those are the happiest looking prisoners and the flimsiest looking jail cell I've seen in a long time.Exactly. I wonder how many of them were forced into service by the Taliban?
That army is getting ready to collapse. If the U.S. is smart, the forces there will stay low-profile, do lots of little nasties to the leadership where and when they can and let the Taliban implode on its own.

These guys will probably turn out like the vaunted Iraqi Republican Guard. The Taliban are done and we don't have to even help. They have no friends left. Their only hope is to deliver Bin Laden's head on a platter.
To: MississippiMan
What'd they get 'em on, DWIs?
Must smell lovely in that calaboose.

And here I was hoping there wouldn't ever be any captured Taliban soldiers.
You know, we have been repeatedly told that these brave warriors will fight to the death for Allah. Didn't they?
Well, didn't they?
To: ingeborg
I dunno,,these are two happy POWs,,,
To: MississippiMan
Remeber how happy the members of the iraqi republican guard were when they surrendered?
Something tells me that the members of the taliban "army" are going to be 1000 times happier.

They are saying "Finally! Now we can shave and eat some American hot dogs with yellow mustard! Now we can call the esteemed bin Laden .... hey, 'dude'!"
To: MississippiMan
Reminds me of the Iraqi soldiers who begged to be captured by the Allies during Desert Storm.
