Caitlan Coleman, sat next to Joshua Boyle, appeals to "my president, Barack Obama" for help.

The videos were emailed to Ms Coleman's family by an Afghan man months after she and Mr Boyle went missing.

The families of the captive couple said they decided to make the videos public because of Bowe Bergdahl's release.

They said their were disappointed the two were not freed as part of a prisoner swap deal that led to US soldier, Sgt Bergdahl, walking free at the weekend...

Mr Boyle was previously married to Zaynab Khadr, sister of the only Canadian to be held at Guantanamo Bay, Omar Khadr, who was transferred to Canadian custody in 2012...

pardon me for being obvious, but since Afghanistan isn’t exactly a real choice tourist destination these days, i have to ask what in the blue-eyed world were these two idiots doing there ?

Idiots....when will these rainbow fart libs realize that these “poor” Muslims don’t give a shite about flowers and peace and love and fluffy clouds that look like kittys?. Let them stay there and continue to preach about how evil the west is.

This statement gives me a notion of what they were doing there:

“Mr Boyle was previously married to Zaynab Khadr, sister of the only Canadian to be held at Guantanamo Bay”

This guy seems to have gone out of his way to be a muzzie lover.

Why would the Taliban want them?
Why would we want them?
Perhaps they would take Bergdahl back for these two?

No, Afghans told Bergdahl, “don’t come back”.

This is why parents should never raise children to be hippies.
