Was that a special, secret, hidden, pinky-swear handshake that keeps them from becoming violent??A top US official said that the prisoners were released under the condition that they will not engage in any violent activity. While it is clear that they are guilty of crime, the benefit in releasing them—the potential withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan by the summer of 2014—is greater than the risk. The US announced it will attempt to negotiate peace talks with the Taliban and Afghanistan government officials some months ago.
If we're in a war, then let's handle it like a war, if we're going to Kinda-Sorta-Go-To-War, then just stay the f*ck home.
I get that a war on terror is different than a straight up ground war, but seriously, what the kitten??
Anyone who can enlighten me, feel free.
