What are Taliban numbers?

A professor culls news reports and other odd bits of information and calls it "research"? He's academically dishonest at the least.

How about some statistics on how many people the Taliban have killed after gaining power? If we had yearly statistics on that, we could project how many they were likely to kill in the future. I'll bet their henchmen, Al Qaeda, didn't keep records.

I suspect

that during the active bombardment, we disrupted more executions than we killed civilians.

From the reports that came out when the Taliban was a matter of sovereignty and only civil rights freaks and feminists thought they were a problem, I have little doubt that at the end of 2002, more Afghans will be alive than would have been without the war.
