#1 This would seem to be an excellent opportunity. Once the little vermin are released, their first thought will be to hook up with the Taliban, so vaporize them by Predator when they have their joyous reunion.

#3 While a group of boys told an American reporter that their ultimate goal was "to kill you people," a social worker within earshot appeared unfazed, saying nothing.

The "reporter" is a moron. What Taliban apostate is gonna say what he really believes to a reporter in a group setting while in prison and risk getting shived, not to mention put his family members at risk, in a society where collective punishment is the norm? Even a one-on-one interview is a significant life-threatening risk - reporters obviously specialize in revealing secrets rather than keeping them.

#4 #3 - excellent point. Same consideration would apply to the results of polls taken of Afghans.
