i agreed with you up to this point. this man is a driver, living in a country that has been in a continual state of war since..1980? as much as we all talk about how we (including me) are all ethical people with integrity etc., most people are just trying to survive. and just try to get along with whoever is the "dictator of the week"

more importantly, most of these "enemy combatants" were just a good payday for the local warlords; "sell" one to the americans.

what an incredible waste of people's lives and times - american military and afghans. where are we seven years later. billions spent, taliban still active, warlords still active, poppy crop at record levels.[/QUOTE]

All I know is that he admits to having been the driver of Osama Bin Laden. Now call me paranoid but I doubt ol' Osama let just any clown off the wadi hang-out with him on the road. I'd have lived just fine had Obama Bin Laden's SUV caught the pointy end of a hellfire and obliterated him and his hapless, innocent driver. Too bad it never happened.
