Hey   are you guys arguing over this thing that was written in 1986?   Get with the times boys.  Plenty of backup on Youtube.  I like the way we negotiated with Bin Laden.....blew his head off. 

Gentlemen, might I be of assistance? I am a well-repected college professor, am never wrong, and know everything about everything.  I would be glad to help out whenever needed.

Hey, Mobman...your daily caller "article" from August, 2010, does not quite match up to the US State and US Treasury Dept's websites official listings and declarations:

Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN)

6/23/2011

Page Content

As part of its enforcement efforts, OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationals" or "SDNs." Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.

a.k.a. TALEBAN; a.k.a. TALIBAN; a.k.a. TALIBAN ISLAMIC MOVEMENT;

a.k.a. TALIBANO ISLAMI TAHRIK), Afghanistan [SDGT]
