54. bad guys
But yet at one time they were more or less our bad guys per this
T]he media myth-making machine is spewing out alarming reports of the 'shadowy force' of Taleban 'fundamentalists' in Darth Vaderish black turbans who want to impose 'purist Islamic' rule.

"That's scary stuff. But it's not true, and may even be dangerous in this case. Because the Taleban could be the best thing that's happened to Afghanistan in years..."

While I can't use the term freedom fighter I'm not really sure what term applies to someone seeking to oust an occupying foreign army and the puppet regime they installed.

I hope no one construes this to mean that I support the remaining taliban or their/our former mercenary warlord allies. Mostly I guess I just want this administration to, for once, level with us and accept responsibility for(euphemism) copulating with the canine.
