David Rothkopf hat auf seinem Foreign-Policy-Blog eine kleine Hilfestellung für CIA-Männer im Einsatz zusammengestellt, die nun in den Bergen des Hindukusch den „moderaten Taliban“ suchen gehen:
The man you are looking for will display one or more of the following views:
1) Seeks only partial destruction of the United States
2) Advocates stoning unfaithful women to death with only small rocks and pebbles
3) Believes terrorists are rewarded in heaven with only 25 virgins
4) Offers Bin Laden refuge in his home only during inclement weather
5) Still seeks to march every last Israeli into the sea but promises not to gloat about it afterwards
This gentleman will probably have a somewhat shorter beard than is typical, smiles occasionally, speaks some English and was last reported living with the Tooth Fairy in Candyland.“
