We were beamed to Mars by aliens, would be more believable than their story.

Canadian hostage Joshua Boyle says Taliban killed daughter - BBC News

Mr Boyle told reporters at Toronto's Pearson International Airport the couple had been trying to deliver aid to villagers in a part of the Taliban-controlled region "where no NGO, no aid worker, and no government" had been able to reach when they were kidnapped...

Mr Boyle appeared to suggest they had had a fourth child, a baby girl who had been killed by their captors,

Mr Boyle was once married to a woman who espoused radical Islamist views and is the sister of a former Guantanamo Bay inmate, Omar Khadr.

His father in law sounded less than impressed with him.

The man is either a fool or a knave, or possibly both.

No one in their right mind would take a pregnant woman to that flea ridden tuliphole, but there you go, that's wot makes horse races.

Talking about this with someone yesterday who was sure they had actually gone to join the Taliban and made up this tale so they could return. Or is it true? Did they go because they were being totally idiotic? Certainly a strange story, make a good film.

It seems sure to me they had gone to join the Taliban.
