Taliban Violence Decreases In Marjah

from National Public Radio

Marine Major Gen. Richard Mills talks to Renee Montagne about operations in Marjah and the Helmand Province in Afghanistan. When they last spoke in April, the general said Marjah was relatively safe, but admitted the Taliban was still there. These day, security is better and the government more effective -- including the installation of a new, accomplished district governor this week.
