Obaidullah is a formidable adversary, says Mohammed Aref, chief of staff of a regiment on the front line facing Kabul. Officials and soldiers on this side who are in contact with the Taliban--spies, escapees or front-line officers who sometimes talk to their opponents by radio--say their enemy's morale is higher than Northern Alliance spokesmen would like to believe.

But they aren't. Assembled in the hall are thousands of the walking wounded--the hollow-eyed mothers, lovers, brothers of people who went to work two days ago and disappeared.
