French Reporter Tells of Days Held in Jail by the Taliban (nytimes)

Mr. Peyrard, who speaks some Pashto but was detained with two Pakistani journalists who translated for him, said that the younger guards liked to practice their English with him, repeating: “This is a jail. This is a cell. This is a mouse.” When the American planes came over, they would shout: “This is Mister Bush.” At one point, when the bombardments slowed they shouted “This is Mister Bush droopy."
