What's the latest classified information on the Taliban?

AFGHANISTAN -- Yes, the Taliban appear to be on the move again. I was informed today, during my morning briefing by highly unreliable D.O.D. sources that after stiff overnight resistance, the Taliban have pushed hard and finally taken Cascara. The Pentagon had not yet released this information because they doubt Omar's forces can hold it for very long. "The strain on their rear is tremendous," said one unnamed CIA source currently on the Pakistani border.

UN forces have captured several Taliban soldiers trying to evacuate along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Taliban now appear to be attempting a maneuver involving the release of noxious gas. They have tried to suppress the reports, but it leaked out and the several CIA agents in the area got wind of it. Our espionage agents are among the best, and I suspect those Taliban guerrilla fighters are beginning to realize the value of even a single scrap of paper.
