        Question one: is one of their children missing? Question two: why is anyone interviewing the Taliban and them believing anything they say?

        Sorry but while I know they were captive a long time I don't think I'd be thinking of having sex and possibly more kids while there.

        Such a bizarre story. Gut feeling is that there’s more to it. Keep an eye on these people.
