Where are they now ? - The Basra Two

Remember these two guys who Tim Collins describes in today's Daily Torygraph as "The riots and kidnap of British servicemen last September "....well here is a pic from the Daily Torygraph Afghan Pic File. The description is ..."British and American soldiers meet with village elders in the hope of bribing them with farming equipment and other incentives in exchange for reports on Taliban insurgent activities in the area, as part of the "hearts and minds" operation in southern Afghanistan"Original DT link here.
