FWIW, a few days ago I was googling for information, and I saw an item about special forces missing in the mountains of Afghanistan. It turned out to be some propaganda site called Jihad Unspun, and the story was claiming that 300 U.S. special forces guys were missing up in the "Nursitan" (note the transposed letters) area of Afghanistan. I dismissed it as propaganda fantasy. Now I see that Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is supposedly up in that area. Maybe there was an ounce of fact in the pound of garbage from that site.

My guess is maybe some foreign contract security folks have been rolled up, possibly some using US equipment. I don't think as many as 300 in one go have been so taken, but there are some posts with forces around half that size, so it's barely possible. I'll tickle a couple of my sources still there and see what they've got to say.
Also, see following.
