kabul's latest occupying force are islamic fundamentalists who call themselves the taliban. their aim to reshape morals and principles in their imaverage islam. >> afghanistan under the taliban was highly repressive society. the taliban was ruling over most of the country. >> the muslim taliban government controlled most of afghanistan and banned women from going to school or work. women had to be accompanied by a man to walk outside. and had to be covered in the veil from head to toe. >> the taliban exposed the afghan people to a horrific war. that continues to this day. >> you also had this group of international religious extremists under bin laden who refer to themselves as al qaeda,

the people were in dire, dire straits, and they were living in abject poverty. they were suffering under the greatest, most oppressive regime that we've seen in modern history. it makes me feel angry, but i don't want to live just to feel angry. i want to do something to change it. that's why i went to afghanistan. in march of 2001, i moved to afghanist afghanistan. to join a relief agency called shelter now international. their objective was developing small business enterprises for women and programs to teach job skills to street kids. >> there were a number of internationals in afghanistan who were doing humanitarian work there. who really wanted to serve the afghan people.

over half of the population is female. of course, in islam, any contact with women with whom you are not related by blood outside of marriage is absolutely forbidden. and so just from a humanitarian standpoint, yeah, there was a very important role that female humanitarian workers would have in a place like afghanistan. >> my plan was to be there forever. i bought a one-way ticket. i wrote my will. i told my parents where to bury my body if i was killed. that motivation to make a difference in the world was a big factor in choosing afghanistan. i wanted to go to a place where the need was great. >> there were a lot of ngos that were active in afghanistan, including christian ngos. and in afghanistan, as elsewhere

around the world, particularly in the muslim world, they are very careful only to do humanitarian activities, and not to get involved in proselytizing because it's a crime in the muslim world. >> shelter now is not set up as a christian organization but the people who worked for shelter now were all christians. >> so as they would establish relationships with these afghans, they would begin to tell them about jesus christ, et cetera, et cetera. >> did you go there with a mission of sharing the word of god, or did you go there to help people? >> it was both. we couldn't do one without the other. in an islamic culture, talking about religion or faith is usually the first conversation that comes up. so it was much more of a kind of natural flow of life and relationships. it wasn't like, let's go in and take out our bible and say, you know, you have to become a

christian. on august 3rd of 2001, we were scheduled to visit an afghan home. it was the home of a family we had known for a long time. and they had requested to watch a movie about the life of jesus. >> how do people know about the film in the first place? >> when we would have a trusted relationship with an afghan who seemed to be interested in spiritual conversations, we would let them know, we have a movie about jesus. and we would ask them if they want to see it. >> it was a very stupid thing for them to do. no question about it. any time you tried to proselytize, tried to speak to people about christianity, you were taking a tremendous risk. >> it was about two hours.

relatives around there in our own province. >> last sunday their trial started in kabul. the charge, attempting to convert muslims to christianity. a guilty verdict could result in light punishment, deportation as heavy as the death penalty. >> we were actually brought to the supreme court on september 8th of 2001. and there were hundreds of journalists. and that was the first time we knew anybody out in the world really knew or really cared. >> it was a huge international from around the world. the taliban was trying to show the world some kind of legitimate trial. and they were preparing for that. >> if they brought us before the supreme court, and said, look, we have given your people a legitimate trial and we have brought evidence against them, and we have found them guilty, no one would be able to say anything about the punishment.

not there with her. if i could get back to kabul, i would go. >> on the night of september 17th, the taliban came to our prison and took our entire shelter now team to another prison considered a high security prison that belonged to the intelligence department of the taliban. >> it was bad. it was worse than the first place. >> it was a concrete cell with a concrete floor, bars on the window. i had scorpions crawling in my bed covers. i had parasites. there was just a lot of ailments that came from the filth in the prison. and they moved us there in order to basically keep us as political prisoners. and we knew we don't negotiate

with terrorists. we understood those protocols. and to be honest, we didn't have the expectation that anybody would come and get us. >> on my orders, the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan. >> the war on terror started. it was october 7th when we heard the first bomb fall. and then the bombs just started falling repetitively. >> they knew there was a war on. they could hear the aircraft flying overhead. i think they had a sense that they were just small pawns caught up in a much larger undertaking. once that attack starts, the

taliban must be saying to themselves, if we release these people, it's not going to do us any good. so now it was going to be a matter of either you try to bribe them out in some way or go in militarily and you get them out. jsoc is known as the joint special operations command which is an accumulation of the top special operations units. when 9/11 happened, guys wanted at it so badly, they were dreaming it before they even know what the dream was about. all they wanted to do was go right the wrong. and one of the first missions that came down was one that was referred to as angry talon, which was to get into afghanistan in the heart of the taliban country and rescue eight hostages and bring them home. >> after 9/11, i was the

commander of cia forces responsible for the intelligence collection and covert action in afghanistan. even in the middle of the war, deploying teams, engaging in lethal force, beginning the first armed strikes, we never forgot about the hostages. in fact, they remained a priority. >> lord, i beg that you would spring open this door and let us go free. my heart hurts so much. i feel like i'm barely hanging on. >> she was a young, very emotional girl. she would cry and be scared. the feeling i had from the beginning with the detainees was trying to help them. and then there was also that purpose, if you can figure out a way to keep these people safe. and then eventually released without any harm.

so i called the u.s. embassy and offered to help. >> we did get into contact with an individual who had a natural reason to go in and out of the prison. and so we get a satellite phone to him to communicate in realtime with his cia case officer back in pakistan, which we hoped ultimately might help us to support the military raid to free them. >> did you have a code name the embassy gave you? >> yes. >> what was it? >> it was baaz. >> there are many motivations that drive a foreign national to cooperate with the cia. there's money. there's ideology. perhaps compromise, ego, revenge, coercion even. the best sources, the best collaborators, however, are doing it because they're decent people and they want to do the right thing. and that transcends cultures.

>> we're collecting information through afghan sources. we needed to know everything we possibly could know about the prison. when you start planning a hostage rescue operation, it is absolutely imperative that you get as many of the details as possible because the difference in life and death can be fractions of a second. there's no end to the detail they'll need if they're going to launch a successful raid. >> we knew when we got to that prison that we were going to have a lot of resistance on our hands. there were a ton of fortified taliban positions within and all around that prison. and so if they know that there is a staircase that leads from the ground floor up to the floor where the women are being held, he needs to know how many stairs there are, how high the risers are. the ability to stay flexible and know when you need to deviate

left or right or pull back and flank. >> this sourcele to us where they were being heli, how they were being held, how many guards there were, where the guards were, where their weapons were, what their daily routines were like. our confidence in this one source grew as we learned more and more and basically confirmed his reporting. >> we worked very extensively on the map to rescue these eight people to kabul. >> when we rehearse a mission like this, you want to make it as realistic as possible. and so at that point, they built a mock-up of the prison and they started exercising to get these people out. the head of the jsoc liaison team came to me and he said, when we train, we never give ourselves this much information. he said, i think we can get them out. dude. cleans so well, it keeps your underwear cleaner. so clean...

as the days went on, not knowing if we would survive eventually just took its toll. time stood still. every single hour felt like a day, and every day felt like a week. and every week felt like a month. there were days that it felt

like we had been there literally for an eternity. i felt hopelessness. i had kind of pushed god away because i didn't understand why. i'm 24. i'm barely out of the gate, and now it's all over. >> we had been rehearsing for this approximately two weeks, every night. and starting to define a target date we were going to go do the hit. >> it was imminent that they were going to rescue the hostages. and then suddenly we got an unfortunate report from our source. >> they began to move us so that we wouldn't be trackable. >> they were no longer being held 24 hours a day at that same prison. so if we had set a particular

date to go and launch this raid, there was at least a decent chance they wouldn't be there. once the hostages had been moved to a new prison and we could no longer predict where they were going to be at any given point in time, we had to stand down on the operation. it was no longer possible to launch a rescue mission. >> when i look at this, i'm still a little heartbroken that we didn't get to carry this out and do what we're chartered to do. it's a little bittersweet. it was devastating. i can't tell you how disappointed we were. and it was sort of like being on the cusp of being able to do something that you never thought you'd be able to do. and suddenly you're back at square one, starting all over again.

but you have to figure it out. because the world isn't out there trying to help you. you have to seize the opportunities that fate presents you. i have to deal with the world as it is. not as i wish it were. >> a dramatic turn of events in the afghan capital kabul. the city behind me was a stronghold of the taliban. now those forces have completely abandoned it, leaving it open for the forces of the opposition northern alliance to move in and to take over. >> suddenly, the taliban lines north of kabul collapse. and the northern alliance comes rushing forward. and they rush into the city. the northern alliance was a collection of militias basically. tajiks, uzbeks and izaras who were traditional enemies of the

taliban. the taliban come fleeing to the south. complete chaos. >> when the taliban were leaving kabul, there were thousands of foreign military. they had the rockets, military, pk and kalashnikovs. everything. you could feel in the air the volatility and the intensity and the chaos. we heard the sound of angry men running down the hallway. and these men started to bang on the door of our prison cell. these men were dressed for war. their heads were covered with turbans that were wrapped around their faces. all you could see were their eyes. it was very clear that these men would have no qualms with doing us harm. >> witnesses say when the taliban fled kabul they took

the taliban command and control had fallen apart. they were fleeing south and to the east toward pakistan. and the hostages, we think, were still at grave risk. >> witnesses say when the taliban fled kabul, they took with them americans heather mercer and dana curry rry and s other western aid workers. >> they were completely lost to our sight. we had no idea where they might be. >> we stopped in a village called ghazni. and the taliban put us into another prison.

and we waited, and we prayed. and that was about all we could do. >> when the hostages had been removed from the prison in kabul, our intelligence source jumped in his car and started driving south with the fleeing taliban hoping that he could find them. >> what made you decide to follow the hostages? >> for me it was a humanitarian and moral duty to save them. >> in ghazni, there was fighting going on out in the street. we could hear the u.s. jets flying in and bombing the strategic taliban strongholds. after about 15 minutes silence, we heard this entourage of angry, violent men come and

start breaking down the door of the prison below. this was the moment that i thought, we're dead. i was hiding under this table just praying, god, please, please don't let them see me. right at that moment, these men came into our cell, and they started yelling, you're free, you're free. the taliban have left, and you're free. and i can't explain that moment where you're accepting that this is your fate and being offered freedom in exchange. we were so surprised. and as soon as the city calmed down and the fighting stopped, these northern alliance supporters escorted us out of the building. and we started walking through the streets. and as we were going through the

old city, hundreds and hundreds of afghans started to fall in behind us. the northern alliance supporters start yelling to the crowds, these were the prisoners in kabul, and we've set them free. and they're dancing in the streets, shooting their guns in celebration. the whole city was celebrating freedom. and it was in that moment, all my struggling, all my wrangling with god. he wanted us to be set free with the people that we had gone to serve. it was like, god, you're so good. the northern alliance took us to the red cross. and so for the moment, dana and i felt safe. but the taliban are still out there. we were extremely vulnerable,

and so we still needed to figure out how we were going to get out of afghanistan. >> one of my officers said, the hostages are in ghazni. in the local ghazni office of the international committee of the red cross, the icrc. one of my case handlers, who is hand ling the source, he gets on the satellite phone with his source. and the officer says, where are you? and he says, i'm sitting by the road on the ring road south of kabul. they stole my car. >> the taliban took our car at gunpoint. >> were you scared? >> absolutely was scared. >> i don't care how you get there, hitchhike if you have to, but get to the red cross office in ghazni. so he shoulders his bag and starts hitchhiking and manages to catch a ride heading south. within a matter of hours, he's in ghazni at the red cross

office. >> i remember an afghan man came to the door and said, pretend like you're going to the back of the building. so we headed towards the back. and out of the kitchen came an afghan man dressed in civilian clothes. >> they were very, very happy when they saw me again. they were both like, so much happiness, they were crying. >> we were shocked to see him. and he wasn't wearing his taliban clothes. he didn't have his turban. he was very clean cut. he'd shaved his beard. and he comes to me, and he grabs my hand and then he grabs my wrist with his other hand. and he says, are you okay, my sister? we're fine. we're all fine. he gave us a satellite phone, and he said, this is the phone number you need to call. so no sooner did i start calling

the number, and i turned around, and he was gone. and i never saw him again. we called the number, and on the other end was the chief officer from the u.s. embassy in islamibad, pakistan, and he said, tonight, we're coming with helicopters to get you. >> we know that the best extraction point for the hostages is this airfield close to ghazni. so we said, you need the get out to this airfield. >> so we started grabbing a few things, and started heading out towards where the helicopters with coming.
