SHEYKHAN, Afghanistan—Taliban forces led by Mohammed Fazl swept through this village on the Shomali plain north of Kabul in 1999 in a scorched-earth offensive that prompted some 300,000 people to flee for their lives.

Fifteen years later, local residents here are responding with fear and dismay to the U.S. release of the notorious commander, along with four other Taliban leaders in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only American prisoner of war who was held by the Taliban.

The villages of Shomali were once the orchard of central Afghanistan, and the plain's carefully tended vineyards were famous for their grapes.

When the Taliban seized control of this area from their Northern Alliance rivals in 1999, they systematically demolished entire villages, blowing up houses, burning fields and seeding the land with mines, according to two comprehensive studies of war crimes and atrocities during wars in Afghanistan and human rights reports. Mr. Fazl played a major role in the destruction.

"There was not a single undamaged house or garden," said Masjidi Fatehzada, a shopkeeper in Mir Bacha Kot, the district center. "My entire shop was burned to the ground. There was nothing left."

so what you are saying is we could have turned a few of these guys over to the UN / world court and let prominent human rights groups have a major victory?


that would have made almost everyone in the free world happy...

even me..

these 5 are the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to obama helping out the radical Islamists.

Minor, in the grand scheme of things...and OT is worried about a few Tea Partiers wearing funny outfits at rallies.

some liberal recently whined at how we can't keep the rest of the criminals at Gitmo as the Afghan civil war is over.. because obama is surrendering,.

maybe that is why obama never tried to arrest the murderers of those Heroes at benghazi?

after all he would just have to let them go anyways..

stupid liberals..

From watching the news I am really wondering if the 5 released terrorists were really the ransom. I outfit that held Bergdahl usually dealt in cash and they weren't Taliban. I'm thinking they were paid money for Bergdahl and Obama just let the 5 go to Quatar to get them out of Gitmo and the trade was a smoke screen.

I guess I missed this post-- I didn't realize the rightwingernuts were still circulating these tall tales and LIES.... I thought it had all been outed months ago... This picture of this so-called Obama releasee who was supposedly one of the five traded for Bergdahl - was on the web long before the trade took place- and long ago identified as someone other than anyone that was traded..

Yeah, you got 'em OT. Not only did no one here make the claim you're refuting, but all of us know good and well that the 5 Gitmo detainees released by your Messiah are actually Sunday school teachers.
