Who is Dennis Coyle, US researcher freed by Taliban after over a year

Coyle, 64, a Colorado native, had been in custody since January 2025. He spent over two decades in Afghanistan conducting linguistic research, his family said.
Today, after more than a year of captivity in Afghanistan, Dennis Coyle is on his way home. President Trump is committed to ending unjust detentions overseas – Dennis joins over 100 Americans who have been freed in the past 15 months under his second term in office.
We thank the United Arab Emirates for its support in securing Dennis’ release. We also appreciate Qatar’s continued support and advocacy for Americans unjustly detained in Afghanistan.
While this is a positive step by the Taliban, more work needs to be done. We are still seeking the immediate return of Mahmood Habibi, Paul Overby, and all other unjustly detained Americans. The Taliban must end their practice of hostage diplomacy.
“He spent over two decades in Afghanistan conducting linguistic research, his family said.”
Wink, wink....
Loose lips....
....I have often wondered how many Americans might still be
there in that sh*thole of a country....when we pulled out disgracefully some years ago, I thought I remembered that
there were still a number of Americans who were in reality
trapped there....anybody heard anything about this during
the ensuing years...?? Jus’ askin’ ......
Of course the Iranians assumed he is CIA.
