Taliban sources in the North West Frontier Province have confirmed to NBC News that two Taliban commanders were arrested more than a week ago in southwest Pakistan.
Pakistani security forces raided at the Gul Park Hotel in Quetta, the capital of Balouchistan province, and arrested Ameer Khan Haqani, commander of Zabul province in Afghanistan, and Jaland Abdullah Sarhadi of Kandahar.
Sarhadi had been detained for more than three years in Guantanamo Bay after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001. He was later released by U.S. authorities.

"This surprising and sudden wave of raids and arrests by Pakistani security forces on militant bases and hide-outs comes around the same time as Sen. Carl Levin, the Democrat who serves as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is calling for direct U.S. military intervention against al-Qaida and Taliban sanctuaries inside Pakistan." So levin gets a a testosterone injection and calls for the US to attack across an international border into the territory of a nuclear armed ally while, at the same time, tells us that we cannot attack an enemy across an international border. Go figure. And the msm gives him credit for the arrests.
(Not saying that we shouldn't go into waziristan or nwfp).
