Dear Michael: From your first headline:

The Sunday Telegraph, meanwhile, quoted civilians it said had escaped from the besieged northern city of Kunduz as saying a non-Afghan commander of bin Laden's al Qaeda fighters had ordered the execution of 150 Afghan Taliban troops there.

The executed troops had wanted to surrender to Northern Alliance forces surrounding the city, the last stronghold of the Taliban in northern Afghanistan.

Foreign fighters with al Qaeda and the Taliban -- including Pakistanis, Chechens and Arabs -- are unpopular with many Afghans and are expected to put up fierce resistance with nowhere to flee.

Nice guys, eh. Wonder if OUR PRESS is going to report this sort of thing, or do they only worry about the US bombing? JDN
