"Two days" is two days. Which means your not there now. "We needed the Pakistanis to even be able to deploy to the area." Irrelevant. We already had overflight rights granted by Pakistan Not irrelevant at all. We had to work with the politician situation in the area. Presumably, no sane person would have wanted to let the Taliban's leaders, and al Qaeda fighters, go. I haven't seen any real evidence that this happened. That doesn't even make sense! (Once in the custody of our military, or at GITMO or where ever... we could verify identities.) No way in HELL we would rely upon Pakistan to 'tell us who was whom'. :-) The top figures might be recognizable. Others not so much. Its not like they all go around with "Taliban" tattooed on their forehead. A lot of our intelligence did come from the Pakistanis. When it didn't it came from other sources that also where not 100% reliable.
