Re: "Frontline: Behind Taliban Lines" Non-partisan, shouldn't be missed.

I watched the program but I'm not sure what you want us to take away from it?

With the amount of damage these guys do to our troops with IDE's, this one small group may have just been made up of misfits.

They did manage to use rocket launchers and small arms to kill Afghan forces on the road.

One thing I don't understand is the fact they use cellphones to communicate. You'd think our side would easily pick up and locate the source as well as listen.

I was glad the journalist was an Afghan because if he was American journalist or from an allied country I'd have a hard time with that.

The new commander wanted him to kill one of the enemies to prove his allegiance to the jihadists. They could not accept he could be Muslim and neutral.

When he declined they were going to behead him. Guess there's no place to imprison the enemy and more importantly
no desire to do so. Their only desire and code of conduct is to kill the infidels.
