They sold our soldier?

How did this happen?

Our newest US pow appears to have been captured and sold to a taliban warlord.  what the hell is this?  where are all the geneva convention screamers in this country over this?  Or does that only count when we take a prisoner.  the military says it is tracking  this closely.  I certainly hope so, and whoever is responsaible needs swwift and sure justice.  The buyingand selling of prisoners is strictly a no-no.  what do they think is to be gained by having him?  Do they think we will just leave?  Do they believe it makes them safer?  If anything I hope it attracts so much attention to them that they find themselves surrounded and hopeless. We should demand to have this soldier returned immediately.  And we need to make a statement loud and clear that this is not how we expect our prisoners to be treated..The question does beg to be asked, what was he doing out alone?  Was he lost?  Why was he unarmed?  Somebody needs to answer for this, and soon. And the search better be immediate and intensive before he disappears into the taliban underground.  I pray for this soldiers safety as i do for all our troops.

I can only hope there is a plan in the works to rescue this soldier...there seems to be a lot of information out there, so maybe they are tracking the POW and bringing a plan together....they will need to act quickly, if the past is any indication of what they, the Taliban, may do to the captive....strike fast, strike hard, and let God sort em' out....

Your Hub reflects my sentiments exactly...
