Anybody have any idea how they connect to the internet from their caves?
I have 2-way sattelite, but the dish is mounted outside.
I'm really stumped on this.

"..Hagenback and other military officials said they were also surprised by the large amounts of cash the al Qaeda and Taliban fighters had at their disposal that they used to bribe local villagers out of their homes and bribe warlords in order to later escape..."

"Anyway so much for their dislike of Western goods etc".Exactly. Use our creations against us.I bet #42 is rather happy with himself today,as he loosened the "Encryption Laws" a few years ago,making it more difficult for our CIA to subvert people like this.It's just 1 more example that shows the horrible humanity of #42.
