This story doesn't smell right. This guy was supposedly held captive by Taliban for seven months and comes back "looking good". He "escapes" from the Taliban in their own stomping grounds, finds a driver who takes him to safety..then the driver goes back to JOIN THE TALIBAN
This guy works for the NY Times, who claims they kept the story quiet for the whole seven months...Is this the same NY Times who can't keep classified military information off their front page for 2 days?
How does a NY City guy escape and work his way out of Taliban country without being recaptured ? ..And why didn't the driver, who wished to join the Taliban, take him right back as a trophy ?Sounds like some of those other tall tales NY Times has been caught telling in recent years.
Here's the story;
