LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan — Gesturing the "peace" sign and telling fellow fighters that he was "totally done with this insurgent stuff, man," hippie Taliban defector Ahmad Khan got incredibly stoned, sources confirmed today.

"Bro, did you ever just think, like, what are we doing it all for?" asked the totally lit former IED maker seconds before being stoned to death by his compatriots. "Like, did you ever think, what if we're the bad guys and the Americans are the good guys? Or what if we're actually both the good guys but we just don't understand each other? Like, whoa. Damn, I'm so high."
