Afghanistan
48 Taliban released in exchange for Indians
2003-12-27
This will come back and bite them down the line.
The Afghan transitional government has released 48 prisoners of the Taliban, it was reported by the Pakistani daily Dawn on Friday.
Dumbasses...
According to the paper, the Afghan transitional government has given 50 million Afghanis besides releasing 48 Taliban in exchange of the two Indian engineers, who were released a couple of days back. The Taliban had kidnapped the two Indian engineers in Shah Joy district of Zabul province on December 6. Earlier, the Afghan Interior Minister, Ali Ahmed Jalali had rejected bargain over the release of the two Indian engineers.

#4  Dawn, like most Muslim media, has problems with the truth. Exaggeration is its forte.
Another report that surfaced two days ago claimed the engineers were released without payment or exchange of any sort.

#3  Other than whacking the Taliban (and ending the most insane "state" of the last 50 yrs), Afghanistan sucks the big one. Karzai & Co + tribal warlords + Islamic "Constitution" + AlQ haven + Pakiwaki connections + Black Hat connections... Pfeh. A perfect preview of the Caliphate. Lump with Paki. Smokin' hole redux.

#2  What's Dawn like for accuracy? I'd like to see some other confirmation of this, as if it's true, it's a very stupid thing to do (again, hard lines for the Indian engineers).

#1  Can't some one insert GPS transmitters into their rectal cavities before "releasing" them?
