Ex-Guantanamo Prisoner 'Now a Taliban Leader'
The Herald ^ | 3/12/09

Posted on 03/11/2009 11:47:16 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A FORMER Guantanamo detainee has become the Taleban's operations officer in southern Afghanistan where he is launching attacks against British and American troops, it was reported last night.

Adbullah Ghulam Rasoul was handed over to the Afghan government in December 2007, which in turn released him. Intelligence officials said he is now known as Mullah Abdullah Zakir and is working as a senior commander.

British officials said they believed Rasoul was behind a rise in road-side bombings against British troops since spring 2008 when he was released from prison in Kabul.

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defence said she could not comment on "intelligence matters".

That's good news! Maybe Obama and Biden can have their heads cut off when they go to meet with them. LOL

This is great. The liberal idea that ‘if you kill or capture the leaders, there are a thousand ready to take their place and then you have the ‘if you capture them just return them’. Perhaps this is one case of the ‘jobs saved’ that Obama keeps talking about.

It’s not like someone couldn’t figure out that would happen... Next time, when they attempt to capture him, I hope they just keep shooting....

The ACLU kills more of our soldiers. They need to be tried for treason with any other liberal law firm that endangers Americans.

I agree, they just might say more when they are dead. I know it would save us a lot of money housing and feeding them.

Friend, you must have forgotten that the Ministry of Peace knows best. They have our best interests at heart, after all. If we want to transform our enemies into our friends, we have to show them by our example of kindness.

Oh yeah, I’ve noticed who is in the White House, unfortunately...., but don’t tell some other Freepers (a few I’ve seen posting) — they’re sure that Obama is not the President... :-)

Yet the puke in the White House will release the rest of his pals at the earliest opportunity.
