Excellant post. Spann died a true hero and our Special Ops boys, Brits included, are the best. Kudos to the Northern Alliance boys who pulled our troops out of the rubble and who killed those damn Chechens.

This is hands down the best piece of war reporting coming out of Afghanistan to date, just an excellent report by Alex Perry!

Its good isnt it? I love these first hand accounts. Its great to see how our special opps guys just blend into the area, wearing the clothes/hats just like the common folk.

Treason by levying war against the United States is the charge, death is the penalty. Him, we take back to the US and give a civilian trial in the Southern District of New York.

LOL Wouldnt that burn the libs? We'll give one low level loser a conventional trial. The rest we'll dispense with on the scene. Can you imagine the libs coming to this Washington DC resident's defense?

I only wished I had put it in Front Page. I forgot to click that box so its not going to get many eyeballs, especially with that title.

I think it belongs on the front page sidebar and have begged with the moderators that it be put there. (I carry a lot of weight with the moderators 'cause they know me for having whined many times about threads being deleted so it should be up on the Front Page Or Breaking News soon ...maybe, lol.) This is a great read no one should miss, glad you posted it!.

Thanks for your help M&M. I agree with you about it being in Front Page. This author's story is something I think people would appreciate.

On Saturday, the basements were flooded; Northern Alliance observers expected perhaps five or six surviving Taliban to come out. In fact, at 11:00 a.m. no less than 86 filthy and hungry prisoners emerged; they were given bananas, apples and pomegranates, clothing and shoes.

Big mistake. They should have been killed.

Big mistake. They should have been killed.

I agree. I can't tell whether the basements were flooded intentionally by our guys or not. It would have/should have been like shooting fish in a barrel.
