KABUL, Afghanistan � Afghan authorities on Wednesday released 55 Pakistani prisoners who were captured fighting with the Taliban and put them on a plane back to their native country -- even though many have been accused of joining Al Qaeda and the Taliban in fighting U.S. forces.

Great,looks like we get to fight them again.

they're prisoners of war.
your war in afghanistan against the taliban is drawing to a close so naturally they would be sent back to their home country.

what did you want?
to gas them?

An idea. Seriously, the war isn't drawing close to an end; there are still rocket attacks and the like, and now there will be even more to fight. Normally one does not release POW's until there is no more hostility!

Absolutely, unequivocally wrong! How can they release the enemy when we�re still engaged? Isn�t there some sort of coalition/centralized command approval needed from our upper echelon? We ARE the ones prosecuting this war, aren�t we?
We appease too much; we�re backing a military dictator who came to power via a coup and amended their �constitution� recently OVER a free standing democracy in India that has endured such things as Pakistan nationals blowing up & killing officials on their version of the Senate building floor�.during session!

They probably just sent them back so they can kill them this time instead of capturing them.

Seems like the government is trying its best to give us every reason to think that Al Queda isn't responsible...

Is that a conspiracy theory I hear there??
