Afghanistan's War - Waged on the Airwaves

(CBS) U.S. forces in Afghanistan are waging a new kind of battle in their campaign to win hearts and minds. You might call it the "radio wars," as CBS News Correspondent Mandy Clark reports from eastern Afghanistan.

Running a radio station wouldn't normally be considered a dangerous job, but for Sahib Dad Hamdar it could cost him his life.

"The Taliban want to kill me for what I do," said Hamdar, speaking in Pashtu.
