Taliban No. 2 guy in custody

[d-ray657]

Abdul Ghani Baradar, the second in command for the Taliban was taken into custody by U.S. officials, according to news reports. Citing security interests, no U.S. officials will confirm the custody or the circumstances leading to it. It appears that the bombing of Taliban bases is also having an affect.

There is some success coming from the additional emphasis on Afghanistan, but the administration is not crowing about it, but giving priority to security. It appears that some believe governing is not always about scoring political points. I imagine Cheney will find something to criticize about this success.
