I was just reading in the Wall Street Journal about one of the prisoners exchanged for the U.S. soldier. Im not arguing about the trade but why would they offer up this guy? Imagine if you were a family member of one his victims? What would you think of the USA then? From todays WSJ: – Mullah Norullah Noori: Is thought to be 46 or 47 years old. According to the documents: “Detainee was a senior Taliban military commander in Mazar-e-Sharif during hostilities against US and Coalition forces in late 2001. Detainee was also the Taliban governor for the Balkh and Laghman provinces and is wanted by the United Nations (UN) for possible war crimes including the murder of thousands of Shiite Muslims. Detainee is associated with Supreme Taliban Commander Mullah Muhammad Omar, other senior Taliban officials, senior al-Qaida members and other extremist organizations and has remained a significant figure to Taliban supporters. Detainee’s brother is a Taliban.”
