I posted these articles just a few hours before al-Qaeda's September 11th attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Then I went to bed, sad and depressed at the thought that the Taliban and Osama bin Laden were on the verge of conquering all of Afghanistan.

Today, General Dostum's militia recaptured Mazar-e-Sharif for the Northern Alliance, with the strength of the U.S. military, President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld clearing the way.

Two months after the assassination of Ahmed Shah Masood, the Taliban are becoming an endangered species.

Thank you for this. I'm finding that there is so much I did not know about before 9/11 occurred. After watching 9/11 last night, I saw this guy in a new light.

Thank you for posting these. Probably not a lot of people got to read them live, as it were.
