‘It’s fair to say that the jailbreak has put a lot of people (militants) into circulation who weren’t there before.” ............................. So? The solution seems relatively simple to me. I see no problem locating them in the orchards, once their images show up, its just a matter of diminishing their heat signature.

“Taliban taking over villages” is a common and ongoing occurance in Afghanistan. The Taliban take over a shed in an area that has hardly any people and then claim they’ve taken over a village. The media throughout the world doesn’t really report this very often.

Was the prison under Afghan control, NATO or US, does anyone know?

The president of Afghanistan's "brother" (I forget the name at the moment) seemed to imply it was under Afghan control as the Afghan supervisor of the prison had been relieved of duty pending an investigation.
