Your friend misses the fact that the Taleban were not the recognized government of Afghanistan. The exiled government, represented in the Northern Alliance and headed by Rabbani, was the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan. Again, the Taleban, and the al Qaeda that fought with them, were unlawful combatants in every sense. And thus were not due the protections of POW status.
