If Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar is captured as a result of a U.S. victory in the Afghan war, there's a chance he will be set free, America's top diplomat in the region admitted Sunday
He is one of those cases that will have to be looked at individually," said U.S. Ambassasdor Kenton Keith, spokesman for the Allied Coalition, in an interview with "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert
When Russert asked point blank whether the U.S. might deliberately "not apprehend Omar - someone who has in fact allowed Osama bin Laden to stay in Afghanistan all these years," Keith said
As I say, (there's) a case-by-case basis for examining and questioning these people. I'm sure that Omar is one of those who will be investigated thoroughly and I expect that he will be brought to justice
When asked to clarify what he meant by "brought to justice," Keith said, "It depends. It's an Afghan - Afghan situation. In the end this battle with the Taliban is an internal Afghan matter. Afghans have to solve it. They are looking at it on a case-by-case basis, we are told
Ambassador Keith also declined to speculate on whether Omar was a likely candidate for trial by a U.S. military tribunal as part of a plan announced by President Bush two weeks ago
It's an option for the president (but) he has not said he is going to use it," he told Russert.
Did he think that he and the Pillsbury Doughboy were going to discuss today's NFL schedule?
The guy maintained the "deer-in-the-headlight" look throughout the entire fiasco.
Can you say Affirmative Action?
According to your link, this guy was not in government on October 10, 2001. If he currently has a government position, he was appointed by Bush.
But then, is he really a government employee currently? Just what is a "spokesman" for the Allied Coalition? I seriously doubt that he is currently an Ambassador. Remember, Ambassadors are usually called by that name, even though they no longer are. Such as Alan Keyes.
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad opened a Coalition Information Center. Kenton Keith served as the Center's director.
The guy's been on the job less than a week. No wonder he's stupid.
Oh yes, now that's an understatement!
Yep. What you said. Our brave heroes are just waiting to get the crosshairs on him.
Then, BOOM!
What in the blue hell is the state dept thinking???? I can see this now. Omar survives, and 5 years later, the Taliban is back. The next Bin Laden is out there, and it is DejaVu all over again.
For the safety of this country he must be eliminated, because if he isn't, more Americans will be.
That's what happens when diplomats run things instead of soldiers.
I have a bad feeling about this.

Then ....
GUUUULLLP!
Ditto Bump that thought! Beautifully, put Geezer, hope all is well!
