Re: Joshua Boyle
I work with a Pakistani who grew up near the Afghan border and recently moved to Canada.
He said something about the Woman having a family member with ties to the Taliban or something like that. I wasn't really paying attention but we did laugh at the difference in reporting from Fox News & The Washington Post.

Re: Joshua Boyle
Looks like my memory let me down a little.
In disguise but maybe not as a man
(it might have been a movie that confusled me)
I believe it was Yvonne Ridley while working at the Sunday Express. I thought it was longer ago too.

Mine does that all the time!I’d forgotten about her.

Re: Joshua Boyle
I'm going to raise it again from my earlier post.
So he discovered the investigation had happened and what the result was in between the dramatic rescue and being on the plane or at some earlier time when in captivity.
This earlier time would have been while held captive by the network investigated by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
The Haqqani network told him the findings against their network? They allowed him contact with those investigating? He saw it on CNN while in captivity and his captors allowed him such freedoms?
Anyone have any theories on this?
Not really captive at all and the rescue was staged?
He said the Taliban, whom he referred to by their official name – the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan – had carried out an investigation last year and conceded that the crimes against his family were perpetrated by the Haqqani network.

Idealistic and naive convert from the look of it.

Something is most certainly "off". If it smells like sh*t, it usually is.

Re: Joshua Boyle
There's something decidedly fishy about the whole thing. Joshua Boyle's narrative is not helped by his somewhat eclectic collection of beliefs - highlighted by the year or so he spent married to Zaynab Khadr in 2009-10 (he married Ms Coleman the following year). And the louder the various intelligence agencies shout that his visit to Afghanistan had "nothing to do" with his former marriage and was a series of unfortunate coincidences, the thinner becomes my ability to take them at face value...

Re: Joshua Boyle
Very glad to read your voice of reason on this. I keep wanting to check myself, wondering if my cynicism is altogether a fair response.
I must go searching other websites to see if anyone has found any logic, particularly in reference to knowing about the result of the so called Taliban investigation.
Also, can you fit two people and three children in the trunk of a car?

This is - more or less - what I’m thinking too...
For some reason, I can’t quote BristolUk, but I’m thinking the “trunk” of the vehicle MIGHT be one of those lost in translation moments...
