Thank a Liberal for letting him out of Guantanamo Bay and giving him another chance to kill Americans. Thank a Marine for depriving that rotten terrorist of fulfilling his stupid dream.

"Khan said that after release, Ghaffar was appointed as the leader of Taliban fighters in Uruzgan, a rugged region believed to be a stronghold of the hardline Islamic militia."

Why was he released?

Stuff like this really annoy me.

Why the heck was this guy released?

Has it occurred to the people in charge that this is a WAR. You don't release POWs before the war is over.

Must be a way to eliminate the middleman and just kill them before they leave Cuba.

Take it easy. It's always a good idea to think it over first. The fact that this clown went from Gitmo to Afghanistan and ended up dead should tell you that somebody is doing something right, but too much discussion could kill the golden goose.

AWESOME!!! Release them one by one back into Afghanistan, track them, and when they meet back up with their connections, kill them all.

Released - tracked - and him and his buddies were taken out. Sounds like a twofor to me.

Do we REALLY want to discuss this? I have little doubt that these pages are bookmarked by most terrorists with a computer. They want information and they want ideas, so where are they gonna go for them, CBS?
