What makes you think that the Taliban would be stupid enough to want four neocons in exchange for their POWs? If they turn that deal down, will we throw in some toxic waste as well?

Uh oh.
If confirmed, the capture of American soldiers in Afghanistan was probably inevitable, but now that it's here, what do we do?
"Saving Private Lynch: The Movie" is out -- the four probably have been moved to the same part of the world that OBL is in, and it's pretty clear we have no idea where that is.
The history of al Q's treatment of captured Americans -- Daniel Pearl -- does not inspire one with confidence. No reason to suspect the al Q will be poring over the trickier parts of the Geneva Convention to figure out just how many calories the POWs are supposed to get each day -- they're probably too busy working on the plans they have for blowing various parts of Geneva up.
Not to worry, 43 and his pals surely saw this day coming and planned for it, just as they have with oh so many other things.
If this turns into the tragedy that it could, 43 is going to have more than his usual amount of explaining to do.

I love the idea of a trade! I say one soldier is worth at least two of the jerks stacking up in Washington: Let's give them Perle, Abrams, Ledeen, Feith, Wurmser, Bolton, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld. We'll throw in Bush, Cheney and Rice too - just to get rid of them.

Maybe we could trade those 8 mutts, plus three convicted traitorous felons, to be named at a later date.

Excellent!! Bush can make up for the Sammy Sosa trade, and the world will be safer all at the same time!
