Two journalists were actually detained. One was a stringer for the AP named Rahmatullah Nekzad who also did freelance work for al Jazeera. The other guy is named Mohammed Nader and worked for al Jazeera.
How were they linked to the Taliban?
"Afghan and coalition forces had intelligence information linking the men to Taliban propaganda networks."
The Committee to Protect Journalists is up in arms because, um, journalists can't be terrorists. I think by definition, right?
Where have we heard Rahmatullah Nekzad's name before? He stood by and took pictures and a video as the Taliban murdered two women in 2008 (photo above). He actually knew the women were going to be executed and went to document the Taliban's meting out of "punishment" anyway after he had notified the AP of his intention.... and no one at the AP thought the imminent murder of two women was noteworthy enough to notify US, ISAF, or Afghan authorities.

WTF? I thought the AP was a propaganda arm of the White House, and now their stringers,(reporters) are working with the Taliban?

The White House is just the minor league farm team for the Taliban, at least for the next couple of years. Ya work for one (Da Won, in this case), and you're working for the other.
