NY Times Journalist...Kidnapped by Taliban

Read this chilling first hand account of being kidnapped by Taliban forces while on a journalistic assignment in Afghanistan. Grab it here. David Rohde the NY Times journalist was detained for over seven months. Read the first installment of the article. Actively read and annotate. Expect to need to know details about the situation. Apply it to your study of US Govt. Watch the "interactive features." Two videos, one is an introduction, the other is a video companion to the first installment of the article. They are helpful and should be viewed first. Respond to the article as Journal #17

Subsequent Parts are not due Monday, I just wanted to permalink them before they wind up in the NY Times archive.
