Lara Logan tells Overtime Editor Ann Silvio about her remarkable interview with a Taliban commander, who described how al Qaeda has helped his fighters plan and execute "insider killings" of U.S. troops.
It was a moment that jumped out at us here at Overtime: a Taliban commander gets into the backseat of a car and sits down next to Lara Logan.
He is America's enemy. He is one of the men devising ways to kill U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. And suddenly, this suicide-bomb specialist is sitting there next to Lara, calmly making chilling claims: That the Taliban are responsible for many of the so-called "insider killings" of U.S. soldiers by turncoat Afghan policemen and soldiers; that al Qaeda fighters are helping the Taliban in Afghanistan, and now they battle side-by-side against U.S. troops.
