Ghostwriters at it again!

Friday, March 24th the Opinion Page ghost writers had another senior moment. In the article Freedom a work in progress in Taliban-free Afghanistan their very first phrase was "Afghanistan is free of the Taliban monsters who governed that country.

Once again they are depending on Fox News and Rush for their source! Wouldn't it be nice if they would learn to use the internet? CNN reported today "A U.S. soldier has been killed and another wounded in a battle with about 20 Taliban fighters in southern Afghanistan, the U.S. military says. The Taliban, fundamentalist Islamist movement based in southern and eastern Afghanistan and the border regions of Pakistan, began an effort in late 2005 to regain the power and influence lost when their government was toppled by the U.S. and its allies in 2001. The Taliban still act as a shadow government and retains a loyal following." (my bold)

And Radio Free Europe says "The U.S. military said coalition forces and Afgan troops backed by U.S. aircraft early today engaged in fighting with some 20 suspected Taliban insurgents in the province's Sagin district.
. . .
Helmand Province has been a bastion of Taliban insurgency."

WHAT WORLD DO THESE GHOST WRITERS LIVE IN?
