Shocka!! Taliban Addicted To iPhone

A former Taliban commander is addicted to his iPhone and apparently this is a strange revelation to some

When I hear the word “Taliban”, many (largely bearded) images spring to mind, but an iPhone is not one of them. However, according to a recent report by Al Jazeera, the iPhone is quickly becoming one of the Taliban’s favorite Tools of Terror (and no, we aren’t just talking about the farting apps).

Hamish Macdonald, writing for Al Jazeera, spent one month in Kabul profiling the region during this historic transition period where the United States is shifting its focus from Iraq to Afghanistan, and helping to lay the groundwork for upcoming elections.[Historic?]

Where have these people been tell me! Of course the Taliban have iPhones. They also have illegal radio stations, satellite phones, etc.
Well hey, if the iPhone is responsible for a shift in Taliban policy from bombs to text messages, then I guess this is a good thing. Unless, of course, they use their new found ability to text message to sabotage the American Idol voting. That shit’s sacred
We have a problem with our populace.
