Did Bush approve release of suicide bomber commander?

New Taliban Leader Had Been in Afghan Custody; Released in Hostage Deal
June 20, 2007 12:01 PM

Maddy Sauer Reports:

The Taliban military commander who led the "graduation ceremony" for 300 suicide bombers was one of five men released from an Afghanistan prison earlier this year in exchange for a kidnapped Italian journalist.

On the tape, Dadullah, whose notoriously brutal brother was killed by the U.S. last month, introduces and congratulates new teams of suicide bombers as he sends them off to conduct suicide missions in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain and Germany.

"These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places," Dadullah says on the tape. "Why shouldn't we go after them?"

Dadullah also received a condolence letter from Osama bin Laden following the death of his brother.
