From HopeRobert earlier:  "The guy is either willfully deceitful or jaw dropping stupid."

This.  And then some.  I can't believe that someone would readily walk into a war zone, one in which Westerners almost automatically get a hostile reaction, with a pregnant wife.

The one thing I will say:  given the level of chaos in Afghanistan, it's entirely possible that he and his family were well treated in one place and actively assaulted in another (and, passed from one group to another over the five years).  And, dazzling level of naiveté or not:  just because you're stupid, it doesn't mean you merit that kind of treatment.

...I truly feel sorry for her....
