How do they really know for sure that they're AQ and Taliban prisoners in that jail? Just because the Afghan and coalition security forces say they are doesn't really mean they are.Fred Zed said:
These "labelled for life" AQ and Taliban prisoners could just as easily be innocent civilians and run-of-the-mill criminals unjustly apprehended and incarcerated under the cloak of the "war on terrorism."
The thing is we really don't know, so it is unfair, unjust and most likely illegal to label these prisoners as AQ and Taliban.
There was a story on this place on CTV newsnet last night. Seems some of the women are in the prison with a sentence of 16 years for being a prostitute. The nature of their " crime" was that they were raped, and are now unclean.
