Of millions of afghans at stake, and concerns about global security, can we believe them? they have become savvier in deceiving. I was born in afghanistan, and have been reporting from the region for more than a decade. I returned to kabul injune this year just two months before the country fell to the taliban. After nearly 20 years out of power, they were gradually gaining territory. My first stop was to see an old friend, the photo journalist massoud hossaini.
