The Obama Administration is considering the release of a top terrorist leader held in Guantanamo Bay. The move would be part of a measure to appease the Taliban into yielding in peace talks, sources say. The terrorist leader in question took part in the killing of CIA agent Johnny Michael Spann in 2001.

Any prisoner transfer would be part of a trust-building effort to renew peace talks next year with the Taliban that had reached a critical point before falling apart this month because of objections from Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

One goal of renewed talks with the insurgents would be to identify cease-fire zones that could be used as a steppingstone toward a full peace agreement that stops most fighting, a senior administration official told The Associated Press — a goal that remains far out of reach.

U.S. officials from the State Department and White House plan to continue a series of secret meetings with Taliban representatives in Europe and the Persian Gulf region next year, assuming a small group of Taliban emissaries the U.S. considers legitimate remains willing, two officials said.

As part of some misguided “trust building” effort with the terror group, Obama would release five high-value Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay.

What would we get in return for releasing these American-murdering slime? Promises from the Taliban to end their relationship with Al Qaeda. Promises. In the hopes terrorist scum have suddenly developed a sense of honor, apparently.
