According to a story by the Associated Press, “The Taliban’s new top operations officer in southern Afghanistan had been a prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center…”.
Released in 2007, this terrorist is one of 60 former detainees at Guantanamo Bay who are now actively fighting American forces on behalf of radical Islam. His role – counter the U.S. troop surge in Afghanistan.
The notion that we are planning to either release prisoners of war during wartime or bring them to America and pay for their defense lawyers would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetic.
