You'll be glad to hear there's good news about Guantanamo...
-- WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The Defense Department said three of those released from the prison for suspected militants resurfaced as senior Islamist fighters in Afghanistan while a fourth was later identified as having been a Taliban deputy defense minister.Because it's all about doing the right thing... for the Taliban, mind you... just not our fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters who are serving in the military.
The six were among 30 former detainees who the Pentagon said have rejoined the fight against U.S. and coalition forces since their release from Guantanamo. All told, about 390 detainees have been released or transferred from the prison.
Pentagon officials said the detainees lied about their past by claiming to be farmers, truck drivers, cooks, small-scale merchants or low-level combatants -- assertions that were sometimes backed up by fellow inmates.Hey, wait a minute... wasn't it a former serving Liberal Prime Minister who intervened with a foreign government to spring Papa Khadr from prison?
Yes, I believe it was.
So, just to be clear... Steffi isn't really a Taliban supporter, he's just extending a longstanding Liberal tradition.
