#3 this is what happens to imams who speak out against the AQ and the Taliban. Is it any wonder so many keep silent?

#5 it obviously takes less courage to speak out in NY than in Kabul. Probably why more do so here, afaik. and no, Im not keeping a database on it.

#7 hat tip, Winds of change

'The Taliban was not so agreeable. That night the fighters sent a message to the villagers: "We want this infidel." A firm reply from the village chief, Shinah, shot back. "The American is our guest, and we won't give him up as long as there's a man or a woman left alive in our village." As a precaution, the villagers moved the injured commando out of Gulab's house and hid him in a stable overnight, until it was safe for Gulab to make the six-hour trek down to the U.S. base at Asadabad and report that the SEAL - by then the subject of an intense search - was alive. Sometime later, Gulab went back to his village and then returned to Asadabad with the commando, this time reuniting the wounded and weary SEAL with his jubilant comrades."'

#8 Thanks for the story, Liberalhawk. That's one village that has guaranteed its place in Paradise.

Oh... if you have a moment you might want to take a look at some of yesterday's threads. ;-)
