20 reporters enter Taliban-controlled Afghanistan TOWR KHAM,
Oct. 14 Kyodo - Some 20 foreign journalists, including one from Kyodo News, on Saturday entered the Afghan side of Towr Kham, a town on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, for the first time since the U.S.-led air strikes started last Sunday.
After Afghanistan's ruling Taliban issued visas to the group, which includes CNN staff, the reporters entered the Afghan side of the town through Peshawar, Pakistan, at night, when a bus they and two Taliban officials were riding in crossed the border. The Taliban, which have imposed strict restrictions on foreign media coverage in the country and have deported foreign residents, have apparently eased their stance. .....

If CNN ever betrays US troop movements, the US can just betray the location of CNN reporters in Afghanistan, who will be stoned to death...

Maybe they can score the same "journalistic coup" as they did in the Gulf War when whole platoons of the vaunted and seasoned Democrat Guard surrendered to them.

I guess the cover of darkness with the bombing is better than being exposed in the light.

border. The Taliban, which have imposed strict restrictions on foreign media coverage in the country and have deported foreign residents, have apparently eased their stance. ........but only to CNN.
LOL...
What tools. Small tools.
To: Frankiedi
LOL... Really. Perhaps the night operation is because all CNN employees are vampires...
To: CarolAnn
I guess I should also say that he had to sneak in. He's not going to be part of the taliban propoganda machine like CNN is.

Remember what "accidentally" happened to the French Embassy in Tripoli when they denied our request to overfly their country.

I wouldn't want to be riding in any vehicle with Taliban officials right now. Morons.
To: Frankiedi
These people make me sick.
To: chemicalman

To: Frankiedi
Will they keep them? (Oh please, Oh please)

No they won't,it's CNN,their there to take pictures of "civilian casualties".
Would be a damn shame if another bomb went off target and took out the CNN crew!
That would be a shame.
