LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan -- A man who was freed from Guantanamo after he claimed he only wanted to go home and help his family is now a senior commander running Taliban resistance to the U.S.-led offensive in southern Afghanistan, two senior Afghan intelligence officials say.
Abdul Qayyum is also seen as a leading candidate to be the next No. 2 in the Afghan Taliban hierarchy, said the officials, interviewed last week by The Associated Press.
The story of Abdul Qayyum could add to the complications U.S. President Barack Obama is facing in fulfilling his pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo.

He’s helping his family. By waging jihad against the subhuman kufir.
They should of all been executed. Preferably on the battle field.
Obama has the blood of American soldiers on his hands.
“Obama has the blood of American soldiers on his hands.”
I wonder why they would release this guy from Gitmo as they likely knew he would return to the battlefield and be a commanding officer?
I agree. Patreaus should somehow convey that idea to his men.
Don’t capture terrorists.
Kill them on the spot.
Turn them over to authorities and they’ll get released to kill more folks.
Way to go obammy.
Hey, he’s only part of the 1 out of 5 that go bad after release ... what’s the big deal? isn’t Obama allowed to break some eggs to make that hopey changey omelet?
“Way to go obammy.”
As fun as it would be to blame Obama, a lot of Gitmo detainess were released when Bush was President too.
There are only two solutions to dealing with terrorists...
1. Executed immediately upon capture.
2. Sent to Gitmo with NO possibility of release whatsoever.
1. Executed immediately upon capture.
2. Sent to Gitmo with NO possibility of release whatsoever.
#1 works fine for me.....
“...I’d favor questioning in the field,immediately upon capture...and *then* executed.”
LOL!
Yes, I stand corrected. A brief period of really painful interrogation is neccesary before the assclown gets offed by our troops.
You think to ask that question. I think to ask that question. The problem is that NOBODY in this administration (except perhaps the politcal advisers who are paid to watch Obama's 6) are asking this question. It doesn't even occur to them that they are making a huge mistake.
I couldn’t agree more.
Good job./
Painful?? How cruel of you! I was thinking about gentle persuasion.You know,a cup of coffee,a nice pork chop,and then....well,you know.
Nononono...what you need to do is slowly cut off their hands....then interrogate them...then make them watch CMT for three hours....
Sorry...I’m really bad at the torture porn threads.
I'm shocked that the prisoner lied to his captors.
“You think to ask that question. I think to ask that question. The problem is that NOBODY in this administration (except perhaps the politcal advisers who are paid to watch Obama’s 6) are asking this question. It doesn’t even occur to them that they are making a huge mistake.”
Actually, it was not the current administration that decided to release this guy.
