Incompetence, arrogance, and politics is such an endemic part of BushCo, one has to posit that the same in Afghanistan. After all, it was abandoned for the neocon target of Iraq. The resources weren’t even there to guard Taliban prisoners. That too will cost British and American lives. The latter is not important for the Bush crime family.

It’s amusing to see those who certainly vehemently opposed the Taliban when it was in power - demolishing Buddhist statuary in Afghanistan - now supporting the Taliban simply because the U.S. opposes them.  Now the very males and females that fought us on the battlefield, strapped on suicide vests, or gave succor to those who did, have suddenly morphed into hapless innocents and victims, caught in the crossfire.

....and now Karzai has threatened to send “his troops” accross the border into Pakistan in hot pursuit.

A reporter from AL Jazeera said the talibans managed to bring about 40 cars at night to make the escape , and the searches only started the next day in the morning . that must have been an embarrassment to many (US ,Afghans, Nato ...)

I saw a documentary last year on AL jazeera about a Doctor from Mazar sharif who was SOLD to the Americans as a taliban , spent 3 horrifying years (according to him) in Gitmo and when he was released , he could not find his wife and child , his surgery looted and stripped from everything windows , doors, taps and wiring , some scatters living in it . He looked depressed and totally lost and was still trying to find out what happened to his family. it was really sad . (Many of them were sold for profits or sold to the Americans by their enemies or someone who had a grudge against them. there is a movie about this soon , announced on CNN this week )

Sounds like a whole bunch of these ‘prisoners’ were just like the majority of the Gitmo prisoners. Guilty of NOTHING other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And how do they have 80 females locked up in an Afghanistan prison anyway?

Are they ‘terrorists’ too? I KNOW they aren’t Taliban.

Ooops .
