Guess who's back?
From the BBC: Taleban Radio
The Taleban have returned to the airwaves in parts of Afghanistan with relaunch of their broadcasts on a pirate radio station.
They plan to broadcast every day in the main languages of Afghanistan, Dari and Pashto.
The station is called Voice of Shariat, or Islamic Law, and was named after the one the Taleban ran before they were driven from power in 2001.
The station attacks the US-backed Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
The diet of Koranic readings and preaching sounds much the same as the old Voice of Shariat.
So, not only is Iraq going ever deeper down the road to hell, but BushCo can't even keep the Taleban off the air in Afghanistan now?
Admitedly they've gone for mobile transmission:
A Taleban spokesman said one hour of programming would be broadcast twice a day using a mobile transmitter to avoid being shut down by American or Afghan forces.
Asked what the movement would do if it was, he said they would simply set up another.
But come on people.
Oh, and guess what? The Taleban doesn't like the corporate media either:
The spokesman said the Taleban needed their own voice to counter what he called the pro-American stance of the world's media.
I found this in the entertainment section of the BBC site of all places, and thought it worth flagging.
