Just how Stupid is the United States in it's desperate need to appear righteous? Interesting point there. We are treating these prisoners impeccably right now and the world calls us torturers. Let's cut off all access and treat them as they should be treated. There is nothing to be lost in the realm of public perception.

Headline should read "Recaptured" I believe. U.S.: Senior al Qaeda leader captured in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A senior al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan who escaped last year from Bagram prison has been captured, U.S. military sources said Monday. Abu Nasir al-Qahtani was among six people arrested last Monday during a raid by coalition and Afghan forces in Khost province, the sources said. A coalition military press release issued at the time of al-Qahtani's arrest described him only as a "known al Qaeda terrorist" and said he was taken into custody along with Saudi and Pakistani nationals. Al-Qahtani was one of four al Qaeda detainees who escaped from the high-security detention facility at the U.S. base in Bagram in July 2005. The men later appeared in an al Qaeda video describing their detention and escape. Al-Qahtani went into the most detail about the escape, even drawing a map of the Bagram prison. He said that after sneaking off the base the four men eventually made contact with the Taliban. Another of the four escapees, Omar al-Farouq, was killed in late September in Basra, Iraq, by British troops. A coalition spokesman in Kabul said Monday that grenades, military equipment, armor-piercing rounds and AK-47 assault rifles were found during last week's raid. A camera containing surveillance video of nearby military installations also was recovered.
