Catch-and-release of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan angers

Post by C-MAC »

More than 500 suspected Taliban fighters detained by U.S. forces have been released from custody at the urging of Afghan government officials, angering both American troops and some Afghans who oppose the policy on the grounds that many of those released return to the battlefield to kill NATO soldiers and Afghan civilians.

And those numbers understate the problem, military officials say. They do not include suspected Taliban fighters held in small combat outposts or other forward operating bases throughout the region who are released before they ever become part of the official detainee population.

You are my hero. What the heck ever happened to live by the sword, die by sword. Has it been replaced by drop your sword, get a free pass?

By the way, if I was that soldier and saw the released bomber walking through the market. Oh well, never mind.. :evil:
