KABUL, Afghanistan — Five members of the Afghan Taliban who were freed from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in exchange for captured American Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl have joined the insurgent group’s political office in Qatar, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Tuesday.

They will now be among Taliban representatives negotiating for peace in Afghanistan, a sign some negotiators in Kabul say indicates the Taliban’s desire for a peace pact.

Others fear the five, all of whom were close to the insurgent group's founder and hard-line leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, bring with them the same ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam that characterized the group's five-year rule that ended in 2001 with the U.S.-led invasion.

Oh yeah, like anyone is supposed to be shocked over this. The Obungler had to come up with some creative ways, to get the terrorist back into the fight.

Instead of taking them prisoners next time, just shoot em right there where they’re caught. That way, anti-American trash like, Ovomit, won’t have anyone to play with.

I don't know, but I have a bit of a problem believing the Taliban want peace. Maybe they just want some time to regroup, and go at it again.

The Geneva Convention says if you are caught on the battlefield and you don’t have n insignia on your arm indicating who you are fighting for you can be shot as a spy.
