Don't seem to get too many significant images of the Taliban. Once, some time ago, I read a quote from a seemingly Sandhurst trained Pakistani officer referring to "those Taliban chaps". That for a while formed a picture in my mind, false no doubt, of "them". The image above I find confusing. The warriors look like gentle girls, they have a stash of unfermented apple juice disguised as rockets in the back of their Ford pickup, what look like rifles in their hands are actually native Afghan musical instruments, and the organic produce for their barbecue outing is sitting in a cooler in the cab. The truck is provided by the US Army (that, apparently, is true, even if not entirely intentional).
