#1 Hekmatyar and his close associates

Last years varsity! Still trying to be a BMOC.

#2 Basically, if you ain't going to set up in the villages way up in BFE, you aren't going to catch the cockroaches as they'll see you coming. I hope the 10th, not to mention some Christians In Action and some Dark Side nasty boys, are taking over the passes that lead back to 'civilization'. Bottle up the mutts and let them sit up there with the yetis, they can't do any harm. And it forces them to take the long way around to get anywhere, which exposes them to our patrols. If we let them move freely around, they'll never be smeared into the rocks.

I would say take their sat phones offline, but there's probably a good reason we don't do that.

#3 During the Taliban period, Hek was harbored by the terrorist government of Iran. I believe that he is conducting his latest terror by remote control, and on behalf of the mad Mullahs.
