maybe america should take a page from the Taliban if they are serious about winning the war on drugs, but they’re losing that too.

quote:

Mr. Ayoubi said his brother Assad was in the ninth grade when the Afghan and American armies came to the district, looking for a Taliban commander who went by the same name. They grabbed his brother instead, he said, and took him to Bagram prison, notorious for its harsh treatment of prisoners, where he was tortured.

“It took us four months before we found him,” Mr. Ayoubi said. “When we went to visit him in Bagram, he shouted at me with chains on his legs and handcuffs around his wrists.”

After 18 months, Assad was released. Because of how angry he was, Mr. Ayoubi said, he joined a local Taliban commander named Ghulam Ali. He became an expert in shooting Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades. On his phone, Mr. Ayoubi has a grainy image taken from a video. It showed an unrecognizable man enveloped by fire, smoke and dust.

The actions of the US and its international and local allies literally funded, manned, and equipped the Taliban. The Taliban as it exists today would not exist without the US and others.

people getting abducted, imprisoned, and tortured for years because they happen to share the name of someone on a wanted list is a story as old as the invasion. the person on the list is a hardened, adult taliban commander but the person brought in is a literal child. who cares, the name is the same.

It's more paperwork to release them than to just keep torturing them.

big fan of the guy who inadvertently set a depth record trying to dredge up the people who died in an attempt to set the record themselves, and then went on to die in an attempt to break his own record

It was even dumber; some guy died trying to set a record and so this other guy became obsessed with recovering the corpse and then died in the attempt. But he did manage to cut the corpse free and eventually both corpses floated to the surface... so success!

The Taliban was one of the biggest parties in terms of receiving US Military aid.

I'm pretty sure all the captured equipment is at least in the billions for the total order of magnitude.

I like that we outfitted both the original recipe and extra crispy Talibans. In another 20 years we can pay for the rotisserie Taliban as well.
