Afghan President Hamid Karzai pitched a little fit today after American condemnation of his country's release of 65 Taliban prisoners. These prisoners had killed NATO and Afghan soldiers as well as Americans. NATO also criticized the releases as a setback to security and the rule of law in Afghanistan.

It is crazy for Karzai to think that allowing these terrorists release will do anything but cause more deaths and fighting in the region. He thinks that it will help resuscitate the peace talks with the Taliban. Why does Karzai think the Taliban will abide by any treaty?
He is playing with his life along with the Afghans.

ANKARA: Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Thursday said Washington should respect his country's judicial authority after the release of 65 alleged Taliban fighters triggered US condemnation.

“I hope that the United States will stop harassing Afghanistan's procedures and judicial authority”.
