A little follow-up to the last story about "winning the hearts and minds" of the Iraq's and Afghani's - the capture of Mullah Baradar, the Taliban number 2 leader.
US intelligence says that it is expected a leadership reshuffle will ensue within the Taliban in Afghanistan. Rumor has it that the successor take Baradar's place: Mullah Abdul Qayam Zakir, a former Guantánamo detainee released back to Afghanistan by the Bush administration.
What? yes - a former Guantánamo detainee. Did the Bushy's release him so that Obamites would have to deal with him ? And where they gonna put him now with Obamites opposed to Gitmo and all the shadow-prisons closed down in Europe ? Gonna bring the Mullah to the U.S where he'll land at the airport and say, "talk to my lawyer." Anyhoo, looks like he's in Pakistani custody which is totally shadey. The JO bets that Hamid Karzai is trying to bring the Taliban ( decloaked ) into the Afghan government proper... you know those Pashtuns stick together.
( Heidi Montag has nothing to do with this story... )
