#1 . . . said bearded Muhammad Wazir, 60, from southern Helmand province. âI was in my home, unaware of Taleban and Al-Qaeda when I was caught . . .â

Muhammad Osman, one of the newly freed Afghans, said: âIt was a jail, not only a jail but a very bad jail.â

OK, let me get this straight. A 60 y.o. Afghani had no idea the Taleban and Al-Qaeda were running his country? That is one ignorant fool -- with stupidity like that he deserved to be jailed. Oh, yeah, and the jail: âa very bad jail.â Like in Afghanistan where conditions are so crowded and inhospitable that people routinely die from the elements -- inside the jails. Give me a break, these guys have (like) no creativity -- theyâre criminally stupid!

âIf Iâm a Taleban or Al-Qaeda I want to be punished, if Iâm not, then they should compensate me. The two-and-a-half years that I have spent in pain and soreness - who is going to pay?â

You still owe us for room and board, Muhammed.

#3 So clue me in: what, exactly is a GOOD jail? And how would Mo Wazir know?

#5 Maybe Wazir had Martha Stewart as a cellmate?

#6 I think we should make it a point to recapture those who lied about being beaten, BEAT the crap out of them and and then act like we had nothing to do with it. It won't take long for the others to get the message. Why should we let them make our strengths our weaknesses?? I'm all for treating people in a civilized manner - but if they want to undermine our efforts to act humane, then why not give them what they claimed to get? If they want to play dirty - then let's play dirty back.
