JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: The war in Afghanistan is like no other for journalists. We can only go where those in control say we, as journalists, can go. And even then, some reporters find out their lives are on the line. Case in point: ITN's Bill Neely.</s>BILL NEELY, ITN (voice-over): In southern Afghanistan, as further north, conflict and a little chaos. As quickly as the Taliban had taken us into their camp, they ordered us out. We were given one hour to leave. They have lost most of their weapons and most of their territory. Today, they lost patience with scrutiny from the inside. (on camera): It is not at all clear why we are being expelled. The Taliban say it is for our own security. But exactly how our security is at risk, and from whom, they are not saying. (voice-over): They had said they would take us to their stronghold of Kandahar, but we could see American planes on their way to bomb it. The Taliban's difficulty in keeping control was soon clear. They took us on convoy towards the Pakistan border. But when we stopped at a town, the locals turned on us, almost pulling me out through a side window, then attacking the car.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Lock it. Has he got the key?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This guy is here, he's still....</s>NEELY: Trapped inside the car, we watched perhaps a dozen Taliban gunmen surround it and fight off a mob of angry locals. The very sight of foreigners clearly enrages many Afghans who have been bombed for months. As we left, more Taliban fighters were heading for their besieged base at Kandahar, further conflict there inevitable. Bill Neely, ITN, in Pakistan.</s>WOODRUFF: Clearly, there was disagreement in the Taliban about whether to permit those Western reporters to stay.
