I sure know what I would like to say about the Taliban right about now, after having read that article. What would be a whole lot more interesting is what other Islamic "factions" might have to say about the Taliban. What is the current position of the top leaders of the Sunni, Shiite and any other factions of Islam concerning the Taliban? Do they condemn the Taliban? How passionate is their position? Did they condemn them in the past?

I'm curious here, does anyone have any reliable info concerning this?

What a horrific story. This reminds me of another Taliban torture story posted on FR, about an Afghan soldier who was substituted by the Taliban to take the punishment of a well-to-do man convicted of theft. The judge took a bribe and they took this poor POW (he was captured by the Taliban after fighting with a rival faction) to the Kabul Stadium and cut off his right hand and left leg.
