    is probably isolating the 8000 Taliban fighters that have moved to the Uzbekistan (sp?) border. They could be easily cut off in this area.

    Here in germany a reporter has told about his stay in the Norther Alliance area. He has seen long lines of trucks filled with material. At least 55 tanks from Russia. Crates of ammo with russian and american/english inscriptions on them.

  3. Spelling: "Taliban" or "Taleban"? by Malc · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I'm presuming "Taliban" and "Taleban" mean the same thing. Which is the correct spelling? I see "Taliban" in most things American, and "Taleban" everywhere else. Are they both valid spellings of the same thing?

    I don't read Slashdot for this type of news - I read CNN or BBC who do a much better job (they are pros at this) and provide more info than a pair of links to these sites.

    I think people should be able to moderate the postings. This would allow me to browse at +2 and avoid this type of submission that is surely offtopic for slashdot.

    Sure I can select not to view US stories, but some of them actually are interesting - just not these ones.
