Taliban from the inside

While doing a bit of background reading on the situation in Pakistan, I found this video produced by the New York Times. It is a compelling short about a reporter kidnapped. It is compelling and worth the 5 minutes it will take for you to watch it.

The NY Times also has an interesting blog called" At War Blog" that has good background and other videos such as this one.

    How sad that they are trained to believe that running towards death is simply a way of being able to enjoy the afterlife sooner. Isn't it ironic that we view war as entertainment in many ways while they see it as a way of life? I feel as bad for those men as I do for our troops.
