This interview was obtained by CBS News' Sami Yousafzai through his sources in northeastern Afghanistan. Hekmatyar agreed to the interview only if he could answer questions submitted on paper and with no reporter present.
It is not known where Hekmatyar lives today and, for his personal security reasons, he wants to keep it that way. The CBS News questions changed hands dozens of times before reaching Hekmatyar, in order to hide his location. Hekmatyar has been designated by the Bush administration as a global terrorist and he lives under the constant threat of the U.S. military.
Hekmatyar is regarded as critical to bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan. For weeks, there have been rumblings in Kabul that Hekmatyar and the Karzai government were close to a breakthrough deal to bring Hekmatyar into formal talks with the Afghan president. Today, Karzai's spokesman said his office was optimistic about that possibility and indicated there may be developments to report in the near future.

I don''t get you?? YOU attack this friend of mine because he tells us the truth!? Maybe you should listen to him... after all he''s been right about this Insanity called Iraq from day one. Remember it real well... on here! He said the day Bush told all of us the lies about why we were going to Iraq... Sarge said.... he''s after the oil. He''s lying, he said, he''s after the oil. Just think how many American''s are alive today IF we''d have listened to him THEN??
The Taliban are punks, same as anyother punk who supports them
I agree 100% with you and they need to SHOWER and improve their personal hygene and get the Metro Sexual look, they might even get their own reality show with a make over and a shave. When you smell like B.O and live stock it drives the chicks away.

Did you run away. Its time for me to leave work also.
Sorry did not want to upset you and I am glad you said whot cares which shows you are a well adjusted person to society. Have a great Tuesday night.
LMAO! This guy sounds just like 99.9% of the whiney Libs who post in here! Coincidence? I don''t think so.

You forgot to add: An abomination to man and God!
Personally, I think that is just something that they do when they are feeling like a pervert and insecure about their sexual preference. If they come on here and announce it to the world, they somehow feel that makes it okay.
Did Rice voice her concern about this communicating with terrorists ??
How dare CBS call him an "insurgent"!
Would you be so civil to the head of the NAZI camps, baaaaaa.

I don''t think so butt-ranger!
It is actually classified as a "Mental Illness" by most. They consider it attention-seeking behavior, possibly brought on by a poor relationship with their mother. There is a VERY GOOD reason why the suicide rate among homosexuals is among the highest in the nation! At some point in their life, they often realize that they made a HUGE mistake by going gay and feel that they will never be normal again or be able to repair the damage they have done to themselves by performing sick, perverted acts with another member of the same ***.
I don''t care if you are gay dude. As far as I am concerned, you are just another ****-Liberal who will hopefully contract HIV and die a miserable death.
If you guys don''t want to be harassed for being gay, then keep your BIG mouths shut and don''t bother to share that sick info with us. We don''t care and we don''t want to hear it.
You know ... "don''t ask, don''t tell"!
"I don''''t care if you are gay dude. As far as I am concerned, you are just another ****-Liberal who will hopefully contract HIV and die a miserable death."
I''ve read through a couple of your posts.
I''ve come to the conclusion that you''re nothing but an idiot, who deserves to spend eternity with Ted Haggard.
Good luck to you - maybe you can use some of that "electricity" with other right wing, homosexual, fake christians that you like to associate with.
Good luck to you - you''re going to need a truck load of lube.
Apart from your homophobic rant ------ aren%u2019t we a bit off topic?
Incidentally, the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its diagnostic list of mental disorders in 1973. In fact, the DSM-IV ------- the most complete and relied upon diagnostic tool ------ does not even list homosexuality as an illness, per se. It does patholigize certain forms of sexual behavior, but stops short of labeling sexual preference in children and adults as illness.
But, hey, what do you think of these terrorist a$$holes?

As far as homosexuality being classified as a mental illness ... it depends on WHO you talk to. I am also VERY familiar with the DSM-IV, I was a Psych Major in college.
Now, for what I think of this "so-called" Afghan insurgent? I think he needs to be a few inches taller and I think we should help him attain that height with a "neck-tie party"!

Me? Stupid? I don''t think so dude! At least I DO NOT enjoy or engage in putting my member into another man *** along with all of the fecal matter he has stored in there. THAT is stupid! ;)
Enllist, we''ve got over 300,000 injured troops that could use your help & another 300,000 to come in the next 5 years of McCains 100 year war in Iraq.
