How many rember the young Taliban spokesperson who seemed to represent 
them all through the West in those days just before and after 9/11.  His 
name was Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi.  After the fighting died, he seemed 
to have disappeared.  Where was he?  Pakistan with Mullah Omar?  
Guantanamo? The surprising thing is that this year, he is a 27 year old 
Freshman at Yale. 

The full, long (12 page loads online) NY Times article is at 
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/26/magazine/26taliban.html?pagewanted=2&ei=5087&en=5d3dc452dd9b0e7a&ex=1156741200&nl=ep&emc=ep

It is a very interesting read on the problems had getting here, those 
that  he has had adjusting and how he did in PLSC 145, Terrorism: Past, 
Present and Future, with Prof. Douglas Woodwell.
