News from the Other Side...
From www.ummahnews.com, a Bad Guy site:
  • The US has offered to negotiate with opposition Afghan Mujahideen to secure the exchange of 18 of its captured soldiers, two of whom are thought to be senior US military officials. The sources disclosed that as soon as news of the arrest of the soldiers reached the Commander in charge of operation Anaconda, Gardez, Major General Franks, he immediately gave the order to halt the operation and ground US warplanes. He then sent a delegation of two senior military officials to meet the Governor of Paktika Wardaag to relay the offer to the Mujahideen commander, Mulla Saif ur Rehman Mansoor.

    The US withdrew over 400 of its soldiers yesterday claiming that they have almost accomplished their mission to destroy the mujahideen concentration in Gardez. Mujahideen sources said that the Commander in Charge of Mujahideen in Gardez Mulla Saif ur Rehman Mansoor, has called a council meeting to discuss the American offer. Some Mujahideen sources said that they may demand freedom for all Afghan, Arab and Pakistani mujahideen currently being held at Camp X-Rayin Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

    In a separate incident a motorcycle troop of Mujahideen raided a US convoy in Tehsil Sarbi which is near to Tehsil Urgan of Paktika province. In this operation the Mujahideen successfully killed 6 US soldiers, escaping without harm.
    These guys lie to each other as much as they lie to us.
