Found this website/series a few days ago and they finally released the episode online to watch for free.

FRONTLINE: behind taliban lines | PBS

Its a documentary about an Afghan journalist who was allowed to follow a group of insurgents, that allied with Al Qaeda. The series spans a total of 10 days and includes interviews with the insurgents and follows them as they attempted to make and plant IED along supply routes in Afghanistan.

I've just watched the first part and it seems to be an ok documentary. I figured some people here would find interest in it. Click on "Watch Full Program" to begin the series. It appears to be 4 parts.

Yep, wifey and I watched that last night.

Caught both sides lying - The Taliban leader to his commander and the Afghan CoP to the VIPs. Both lied about body counts and damage to vehicles.

I thought it was going to be very biased but it was a decent show. I missed why the Taliban kicked the reporter out of camp. Do you know why they did?

They thought he was a spy and talked about beheading him.

Ah, thank you, flatlander. Wifey struck up a conversation about the time that he was getting in the van to be escorted away and I missed it. Thanks.
