cant work out what thats got to do with this thread ? and anyway situations and allies change, just look at the relationship with russia after ww2.Wasn't it the British and the Americans who supplied the taliban with weapons in the first place?
So he was a combatant then? What proof do we have of that other than that he was in Afghanistan?

Obama being the soft twat that he is !
should of been tortured
that was iraq, not afghanistan.

I'm not judging him by the colour of his skin, or the fact that he is a muslem does not make him a terrorist.if a white man was there claiming to be an aid worker,the chances are that he would be known to the authorities and would have the papers to proove it.re the U.S gvt being corrupt,i would agree,but in America you are granted human rights freedom of worship,freedom of sexuality with out the fear of being stoned to death.re poppy fields,the peasants, as you put it, are being offered alternitave ways to make money,and some are,but the fear of a visit from the taliban has detured others.re Mugabe.if there was proof that THIS GENTLEMAN was involved in terror activities,i'm sure that he would be visited by Uncle Sam.I have many Muslem friends and admire them greatly.To try and use the Race card, does not work with me my friend,but I appreciate your right to use it if you so wish.We do live in a free soceity which some would want to deny us.you might also be surprised to know that i fully support The people of Gaza in there fight for freedomNO NO. i agree the regime was wrong. i question what gives us the right to decide who is in charge? Mugabe is just as bad, why don't we remove him? answer there is no money in doing so. You believe that just as he is a muslim he is a terrorist?! if a white man was there and said he was on aid duty you would have NO questions, but due to this mans faith and colour you assume his guilt. as for corrupt regimes have you ever looked at the U.S govt system?! (i would just like to point out i am not anti U.S) or the torture methods used to question people like the man returning to the u.k. is that any better than what the taliban have done? should we not invade the u.s to stop things like this happening? as regards to the drugs, you can hardly blame the peasants for growing heroin, if you have a choice between starvation/ not feeding your family or a quick buck for growing poppies (which by the way will never effect you or your society as drugs are not permitted under islamic law) would you not take the offer of the drug barons offering you considerably more money than you would get growing a crop which would most likely fail under the climatic conditions.
Like I said earlier on the only people whom truly know that are the people whom captured him.
We can argue all night long whether he was or wasn't but I presume none of us were actually there to witness what he was actually doing.
But........ask yourself this, why was he in a war zone that was obviously an incredibly dangerous place to be. Why wasn't he in Ethiopia? where he seems to come from or in Britain? Why Afghanistan in war time, when he seems to have no ties to the place nor reason to be there.

I think you will find that he did in fact supply the Mudjahadin with weapons in their war against the Russians, not the Taliban!
It'a amazing what types of thread bring the resident knuckle-draggers out to play. All the usual supects are out to play in this thread
Yep, all good questions, but you're suggesting that it was right to detain him indefinitley though, aren't you? Is it enough that we was just there?

that is exactly what he is suggesting - they should have done this because the Taliban would of cut off their heads if it had been the other way around...tit for tat and all that
