#1 When I read the word "pilgrim," I heard it the way The Duke would have said it: Someone who is out of place in a place where ignorance and naiveté have harsh consequences. The guy has every right to be very angry, but for him to believe he made no bad choices himself, that's a bridge too far, IMHO...

#2 "pilgrim" a person who journeys to a sacred place for religious reasons...

The stupid azz canadian government will probably give this American hating, Khadr loving terrorist a couple million dollar settlement as well...but, maybe not - he didn't kill any US Soldiers as far as we know...

#3 Judging by the before and after photos the Taliban has a pretty effective weight loss regime.

Not really. We are talking about Muslims after all.

#8 I'm not sure Pakistan DID give Trump something. It sounds like they just gave us the trash off the floor. I'm not entirely sure they were "Hostages" in the traditional sense, or if anything this guy has been describing happened.

The wife seems alarmingly submissive to me. Until intel comes in backing his story up, or the wife actually confirms, I just don't think I can really believe this POS.

They didn't, really. More like they gave the Canadians something.

Note that the Paks broadcast to all and sundry about the 'wonderful' thing they did, however. Either their pet Haqqanis either were the ones who went rogue, or the Pak IC screwed up. Possibly the Canadians paid something. Ironic in any case.

#11 We caught the Paks and Haqqani in bed together is what it was.
