#1 Old news. Wikepedia: Gulbuddin Hekmatyar
On December 25 of 2002, the news broke that American spy organizations had discovered Hekmatyar attempting to become a member of al-Qaeda. According to the news, he had said that he was available to aid them. However, in a video released by Hekmatyar September 1, 2003, he denied forming alliances with the Taliban or al-Qaeda but praised attacks against U.S. and international forces.

Too bad the Predator got his entourage, but missed him.

It's the Evil Twin Rule, you have to have a beard. Same as Spock did when Kirk was transported into that alternate universe.

#8 :) Notice also that "Who the Hek" is still a crummy warlord and not a mastermind yet. :)
