Im brett sheets, im originally from camp hill, pennsylvania and served in afghanistan 2003 to 2004. when we went over to afghanistan, which was end of the summer in 2003, we were already in iraq and there was a weird sense of whoa, i thought i was going into the main effort and now its obvious im not. i think after a couple months, i realized we dont seem to have a target list. nation building was the vast majority of what we did in afghanistan. i realized unless something major changed, that th...

Back against isis in afghanistan. the broader thing to remember, though, sort of targets like this of opportunity could probably have been on the u.s. target list in the past years or so. but the tempo has changed about how often theyre willing to deploy a force against the terrorist groups. it seems now, though, that the operation is struggling, i think its fair to say, because of that security situation, the u.s. embassy warning citizens to stay away. the state department indicated yesterday t...

Their house, to travel all these roads with taliban checkpoints knowing they were on the target list to get to kabul. and i convinced them, i dont know, you could die on the way but my instinct is go, try to get to the airport. so they planned to leave in the morning. that night the taliban came to their house and made them serve dinner to them. so this family is literally making dinner for taliban soldiers before they leave the next morning to try to escape them. they got to kabul. they somehow...

Records to fingerprints, the group has access to more personal information on its enemies. in addition to the u.s. made armaments they got their hands on, new concerns tonight that the taliban have seized another more subtle weapon that could help them track down and kill their enemies. digital databases left behind on computers and hard drives, records stored away that could be a treasure trove for the terror group. >> that includes things like tax records, who is on whose payroll. who talked t...

Trying to get out of the country. particularly the women, ourjudges are very strong but a human rights activist are being promised by the international community that if the national committee will back their work and tell them its safe to work on womens issues but now these women are on top of the target list. but they are at the bottom of the list in help and being evacuated. goodness me. a very sober assessment of where we are. we will have to leave it there, im so sorry but thank you very mu...

The council held a meeting at which the afghanistans ambassador to the united nations accused the taliban of not honoring the promises and commitments and talked about the dire situation in his homeland. >> translator: we have seen gruesome images of mass executions, military personnel and target killing of civilians in kandahar and other cities? taliban members have started house to house searches in neighborhoods registering names and looking for people on the target list. there are already re...
