Today the AFP published taliban propaganda. At first I couldn't read the whole article but after cooling down I went back and read the whole thing. There are some interesting tid bits of information within the article. Like the fact how Iran sheltered thousands of taliban fighters after the US invaded AFghanistan. But other than that this article seems to put a positive spin on the taliban. AFPAfter years in exile following the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan, this Taliban commander is back in the mountains of his birth, having left behind his old life with his family for one mission: chasing out the "infidel" Americans.[...]
In 1994 he joined the Taliban as they prepared to march on Kabul at a time when the country was engulfed in civil war between former anti-Soviet factions, the mujahideen (holy fighters).
When the extreme Islamist group finally won control of the capital in 1996, "everyone was happy to see the Taliban -- good Muslims -- put an end to the killing, the rape and the theft of the mujahideen," Shafiq says.[...]
It was in the northern mountains that he heard, over Taliban combat radio, on September 11, 2001 that planes sent by Al-Qaeda, had struck at the heart of the United States.
"That was beautiful, delicious to hear, everyone was happy," the warrior says with a smile.

Sick bastard.
This thing reads like a press release from Maulana Fazlullah's Tower of Terror radio station.
Are the Taliban mounting an image makeover campaign before having those upcoming talks with the Messiah's peeps?
(You know it's just a matter of time.)
I wouldn't doubt it, the Messiah is already preparing a letter for Iran.
