I agree with this post as it is correct. He was a soldier in the al Qaeda helping the Taliban soldiers to fight the "Northern Alliance" whom at the time was no friend of ours.

You have thought it somehow important that he was TECHNICALLY not a soldier for the Taliban. My point, since seem unwilling to draw the obvious conclusion, is that you are making a distinction without a difference.
Maybe he wasn't a soldier fighting for the Taliban, but by fighting for them on another front, he essentially provided them a soldier (since they then could send one less soldier to the Northern front).
Sheeeesh!!!
