Prison break will replenish
Taliban fighters on front lines
Re: "Mass Afghan jailbreak
troubles allied forces," April 26, 2011.
The $5 million Canada spent
to beef up security at Kandahar's Sarpoza Prison was money wasted. It
could not hold the 475 Taliban prisoners kept there, freed allegedly by
their comrades in a daring nighttime breakout.
That money could have been
invested more wisely -- like by adding several more 72-hour fake lakes
to the G20 summit setting to wow visiting dignitaries.
Meanwhile, Taliban cells
around Kandahar will no doubt welcome scores of seasoned fighters back
to the battle front, even as the 2012 edition of the Guinness World
Records prepares for a new entry.
