Afghanistan Releases 65 'Dangerous' Prisoners Despite American Protest

The Afghan government has released 65 detainees from a former American prison despite protests from the U.S. military over concerns the "dangerous" fighters will return to the battlefield to kill coalition and Afghan forces.

Maj. Nimatullah Khaki, a spokesman for the Parwan Detention Facility at Bagram Air Base, said all 65 were freed on Thursday morning. He said they were laughing and smiling as they boarded a bus to leave the facility.

President Hamid Karzai ordered their release several weeks ago from prison facility, drawing angry denunciations from the U.S. and straining relations between the two countries ahead of the year-end withdrawal of most international combat troops.

Gates tried to make a big thing of the fact that Obama didn't trust Karzai. Guess who was right.

In reality, what does it matter... we are letting them go, as well. Just more propaganda to get mad at the Afghans. Our own leaders let known terrorist go about freely.

We have lotsa problems at home the troops could address.Highways,bridges,and general infrastructure issues need addressing,not to mention the yearly hurricane and tornado damaged states that are in dire need of attention.All of that coupled with our need for national security IN THE US should be adequate reason to bring them home.

Send Obama over there and let him play with them since they are probably friends.

Leave Afghanistan immediately and completely NOW. Karzai is a drug dealer and protects the biggest heroin producer in the world. Which, in a side note, aligns him perfectly with some of our OWN politicians....
I wonder what the families of the thousands of wounded American solidiers think, you know, the ones without legs, eyes, arms, genitals, (the ones our "leaders" sent to um, uh, "protect our freedom", lol). The ones who now have to look for help from charity groups because the government, after seeing their usefulness end, has pretty much said "good luck".
I wonder if they still stand up (their son can't, from his wheelchair) and chant "USA! USA! USA!" when our "leaders" try to whip up patriotic frenzy for their latest and greatest attempt to protect our "freedom" (in some prehistoric stone age nation 6000 miles away).
Want to protect our freedom? Disband the Department of Homeland Security. Recind the Patriot Act. And throw the NDAA in the trash. But the VERY SAME ONES who send your kids to die "for our freedom" are the same ones who voted for these travesties of "justice" and "freedom" Not "your guy", of course. HE is a light of liberty, right?
Keep cheering, you brainwashed lemmings.

I wouldn't want to be Karzai. He is in a position where he has to start playing ball with the Taliban, because his sponsors will be cutting out soon. Not going to work, though. I predict bad things for this guy in the future and Afghanistan will return to the lawless country it has always been.

Hey, it's his country. If he wants it full of his own criminals, what business is it of ours? Good reason to pull out 100% immediately and let our troops protect us here.

Screw the Middle Easy countries, save Israel.
