President Obama Frees the Taliban Five From Gitmo- K.S.M. Next?

The President ordered the release of five Al Qaeda detainees at Guantanamo Bay that were regarded as too dangerous to release. The logic apparently is that it was a quid pro quo exchange for Army Sgt. Beau Bergdahl who was held five years by the Taliban or some affiliated organization such as the Haqqani network.

Defense Sect. Hegel said that it doesn’t comprise negotiating with terrorists-against U.S. policy-because he Sgt. Bergdahl was a P.O.W. and so were the Al Qaeda captives. That would seem to set a different U.S. policy on the Al Qaeda detainees at Guitmo including presumably the 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammad-they are prisoners of war. K.S.M. was from Baluchistan and probably knew the religious students (meaning of Taliban) implementing Sharia law in Afghanistan and Osama bin well enough to be a contract employee of the Muslim movement to expand the dar al harb. It seems challenging to delineate who is or isn’t a legitimate mufsidoon, mujahideen or whatever since Islam recognizes Islamic religion rather than national boundaries as the essential political organizing principle-a point disputed perhaps by sympathetic liberal supporting global capitalism and the concentration of wealth and power rather than national independence themselves.

If the Al Qaeda and Taliban are not regarded by the administration as illegal combatants and/or terrorists it will bring many changes to legal theory on the topic. Obtaining the release of Sgt. Bergdahl is commendable of course yet the way it was accomplished seems somewhat irresponsible or obtuse in regard to remaining consistent with sound legal procedures. The administration has a record of parsing words and reinterpreting facts to suit its partisan purposes such as in the affair of the Al Qaeda killing of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya at Benghazi. Dishonesty in government ought not become a habit.

Khair Ulla Said Wali Khairkhwa, Mullah Mohammad Fazl, Mullah Norullah Nori, Abdul Haq Wasiq and Mohammad Nabi Omari were highly placed members of the Taliban before their capture. One led the military resistance against the Northern Alliance and another was deputy of regime intelligence. These people knew Osama bin Laden and will be a shot in the arm for strengthening the Taliban. The Taliban might be logically regarded as a legitimate government by the U.S. administration though it was deposed forcibly under U.S. leadership for sheltering Al Qaeda in accord with the kindness to fellow Muslims principle. In that paradigm the Taliban were like the German prisoners of war under the Nazi regime or Iraqi prisoners of war under Saddam Hussein. It is a rather vague and murky step to take; is anyone supporting the Taliban subsequently also part of a legitimate government or does it have an expiration date for enlistment?

I will go off topic on this a little. I read a good crime novel of Iceland recently in which seemingly different criminal events are drawn together at end. Bankers it seems an exploit global banking for illicit purposes also finding tax havens in other nations. Money laundering can also occur and insiders can use the low-interest money to obtain high interest returns. That remains me of the post 2008 banking derivatives crash on the policies of the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve issuing no-interest loans to banks, printing out no interest loans to the U.S. Government and so forth. Whenever that financial chicanery is going on instead of quality ecospheric economics one can expect a load of corrupt bull and media complicity since they for-themselves owned by the corrupt.
