#2 Since such caves are natural, and fairly common in Afghanistan, an interesting decision has to be made when one is discovered.

The Taliban and al-Q will sometimes put a great deal of time, effort and money into improving a cave, so if you wait until they have done so before blowing it up, then you waste their resources.

Otherwise, you may just sit back to wait and see if the Taliban re-occupy the cave before you blow it.

Finally, if it is too convenient, you will just want to blow it any way, just to make life harder on them.

We need to make fake maps, and send them out. Have the would be Muslim Indiana Jones's show up to a cavee full of dogs or soemthing. Film it for AFV or something.

#4 Wire the caves with microphones and you are able to track their moves and even listen in on their conversations. But, only after obvious trip wires and mines around the entrances for cover.
