I read that a long time ago. This is the interesting bit:

The beginning of the Taliban’s activity in Afghanistan is shrouded in myth. Ahmed Rashid recounted what he deemed the most credible: Neighbors of two girls kidnapped and raped by Kandahar warlords asked the Taliban’s help in freeing the teenagers. The Taliban attacked a military camp, freed the girls, and executed the commander. Later, another squad of Taliban freed a young boy over whom two warlords were fighting for the right to sodomize. A Robin Hood myth grew up around Mullah Umar resulting in victimized Afghans increasingly appealing to the Taliban for help against local oppressors.(48)

And of course the appropriate War Nerd column:

Phew. I have just singlehandedly tripled the quality of this thread.

Oops, wrong thread

Nothing, I just posted something here which should have belonged into the thread with the nuns sitting on my lap.

Bad habit to have several windows of Apolyton open at the same time. Sometimes you just use the wrong window for posting.

The Taliban is your fault, TCO. Didn´t you know that?
