Confused and confusing American intelligence reporting have resulted in confusion in the press corps, such that several distinct individuals have been conflated. |

Other, earlier reporting makes clear that [[Abdul Rauf Aliza]] is not the former Taliban Governor and Taliban spokesman generally known as [[Mullah Abdul Rauf]]. The former Taliban Governor was active in the late 1990s, when Abdul Rauf Aliza was just a teenager. He was an active Taliban spokesman, at large, in the early 2000s, when Abdul Rauf Aliza was still in detention in Guantanamo. |

I don't want to be the sole editor on this, but I strongly feel that the reporting in this, and other articles, that repeats the press corps face value acceptance that the multiple individuals are a single individual should be deprecated. |

Its tricky. I don't want to stray into original research. I am sure that, with an appropriate citation of the references that establish that an individual, or individuals, known as Mullah Abdul Rauf, were active and at large, when Abdul Rauf Aliza was too young to be a senior Taliban commander, or was in US custody, our reporting on these individuals could stop well short of simply repeating at face value that they were all the same individual.

Identity confusion
Confused and confusing American intelligence reporting have resulted in confusion in the press corps, such that several distinct individuals have been conflated.
Other, earlier reporting makes clear that Abdul Rauf Aliza is not the former Taliban Governor and Taliban spokesman generally known as Mullah Abdul Rauf. The former Taliban Governor was active in the late 1990s, when Abdul Rauf Aliza was just a teenager. He was an active Taliban spokesman, at large, in the early 2000s, when Abdul Rauf Aliza was still in detention in Guantanamo.
I don't want to be the sole editor on this, but I strongly feel that the reporting in this, and other articles, that repeats the press corps face value acceptance that the multiple individuals are a single individual should be deprecated.
Its tricky. I don't want to stray into original research. I am sure that, with an appropriate citation of the references that establish that an individual, or individuals, known as Mullah Abdul Rauf, were active and at large, when Abdul Rauf Aliza was too young to be a senior Taliban commander, or was in US custody, our reporting on these individuals could stop well short of simply repeating at face value that they were all the same individual.
