A Taliban fighter inspects a room with a cross and a bottle of Tabasco hot sauce at Kabul airportKABUL - A well-thumbed copy of"Not a Good Day to Die" -- which tells how American forces nearly came undone fighting in Afghanistan in the early stages of the war -- lies on a bed in a deserted US barrack room at Kabul airport.
