I don't subscribe to the sinister plot, actually; I think he was just
an eager-to-learn young man that got swept up into something bigger
than he realized. I was referring to his post-Taliban life. Since he's
very intelligent, speaks some valuable languages (in valuable
dialects), has lived in and among the Taliban and Pakistan border
militias, I'd say he might be a good analyst, assuming he wants to
play ball.
