Much like the janjaweed bands that have devastated parts of the Sudan since the early days of the Darfur crisis, the Taliban continues to dominate their own region, which happens to be around the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. With noted Frontline correspondent and producer Martin Smith leading the way, visitors to this site can learn more about their role in the region, and what the future might bring. While visitors may eventually want to watch the complete program in its entirety (it’s available here as well), they may begin by reading the introduction to the program, and then proceed to taking a look at the “Inside the Lawless Tribal Areas” section. As it combines first-hand descriptions with video clips, this area is quite remarkable, and visitors will certainly want to look at Winston Churchill’s commentaries on this area from 1897, as some of his observations ring true today. The site is rounded out by a section of interviews with such personages as Richard Armitage and President Pervez Musharraf. This documentary and its website are both troubling and thoughtful, and one can think of a diverse set of classroom uses for such a program.
