Afghanistan Taliban leader was at Gitmo
The Taliban's new top operations officer in southern Afghanistan had been a prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, the latest example of a freed detainee who took a militant leadership role and a potential complication for the Obama administration's efforts to close the prison. U.S. authorities handed over the detainee to the Afghan government, which in turn released him, according to Pentagon and CIA officials.

Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, formerly Guantanamo prisoner No. 008, was among 13 Afghan prisoners released to the Afghan government in December 2007. Rasoul is now known as Mullah Abdullah Zakir, a nom de guerre that Pentagon and intelligence officials say is used by a Taliban leader who is in charge of operations against U.S. and Afghan forces in southern Afghanistan.

The officials, who spoke anonymously because they are not authorized to release the information, said Rasoul has joined a growing faction of former Guantanamo prisoners who have rejoined militant groups and taken action against U.S. interests. Pentagon officials have said that as many as 60 former detainees have resurfaced on foreign battlefields.

Pentagon and intelligence officials said Rasoul has emerged as a key militant figure in southern Afghanistan, where violence has been spiking in the last year. Thousands of U.S. troops are preparing to deploy there to fight resurgent Taliban forces.

These people are prisoners of war, and their release should not be a matter for discussion UNTIL THE WAR IS OVER. They are not car thieves looking for a sharp lawyer.

This entire matter is symptomatic of a society so arrogant it cannot manage to even CONSIDER seriously the idea that it can be extinguished, and that the luxury of treating these MURDERERS as if they should be represented by Alan Dershowitz is some kind of human right.

These are our enemies. We did not slaughter them, but suffer to feed them and keep them safe, even from their own desires. They are not to be returned, or released until they die of old age, or this war ends.

All else is simply arrogant folly.

FOLLY.
