<<Why certainly, I'm sure they just felt like vacationing in Afghanistan just then.>>

Actually Nadine, there were numbers of foreigners in Afghanistan working in aid relief....Oxfam e.g. (which is British based I believe).

It's very plausible for some of them to be totally innocent....you can't just make a broad sweeping statement that they were all Taliban supporters unless you have the proof....which I'm speculating you don't.
