Afghans free American jailed for private prison

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan authorities have released from jail an American imprisoned in 2004 for running a private jail and illegally detaining and torturing people in a freelance war on terror.

The American, Brent Bennett, was initially sentenced to 10 years in prison after he and two other Americans -- Jonathan "Jack" Idema and Edward Caraballo -- were found guilty.

An appeals court later cut their sentences. Bennett was released on Saturday after completing two years of his three-year sentence, a prison official said.

"He was released from Pul-i-Charkhi prison and was flown out of the country," prison commander Abdul Qayoum said on Sunday.

1. Perhaps bushco has offered position in work/release program
There may be some CIA and Military types unwilling to do that sort of job.
