So we're getting all sorts of news about how terrible it is under the Taliban now.
Ok, I am no fan of the Taliban's past, but... How do they know all the details i.e. people getting hanged with helicopters or women being beaten? They don't have journalists there anymore!
It's just atrocity propaganda regardless of truth. If it's true, then it's just a coincidental guess.
Everyone has a phone these days, and there are still journalists in Afghanistan, especially with non-western organisations. Aljazeera still has people on the ground, as do others. Every story is a mixture of fact, bullshit and opinion, but I don't think it's a crazy propagandist position to come to realise that the Taliban are an utterly amoral private mafia/militia that are more than happy to terrorise any opposition with crazed religious nutjobs as their shock troops in order to get what they want. Thankfully, what they want is pretty simple - dope, dough and domination.
