That there, you did, I see it.



Morbid, but funny... and tragically sad all at teh same time.

It's a serious question though if anyone has any insight, how does an "American Infidel" journalist actually embed with the "enemy"? That just doesn't seem like a smart idea no matter how badly they want the story...

He's Norwegian. Do they have a dog in the fight? Whatever you think about the Taliban, they seem pretty adept at PR.

One of the guys in the video ends up kidnapping him later on.

one or two simple reasons....................

unsecure radios tell your enemies ( IE us) the exact same thing it tells your buddies......... and can be used for triangulation if you jam the freq's you don't get that info .
