This past fall, an Afghan video journalist negotiated extraordinary
access to a part of the country that has quietly reverted back to
Taliban control. For close to two weeks, the journalist traveled a
region that he found was now largely under control of the Taliban
"shadow" government. He also tracked members of an insurgent cell
working with members of Al Qaeda on a mission to sabotage a major
U.S./NATO supply route. As the new U.S. strategy focuses on the
south and eastern parts of the country, this film opens up a window
onto a potential new front in the north and sheds an important
light on who's fighting the U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and why.
Also in this hour is a report from Pakistan on the country's
troubled public school system, which is among the worst in the
world, despite years of U.S. aid.
