Haji Sahib Rohullah Wakil spends his days going from one high-level
official meeting to another with the swagger of a tribal elder,
advocating for the needs of Kunar province, his home region.
Each encounter — with President Hamid Karzai, with Karzai's chief of
staff or with one of Afghanistan's other presidential candidates —
begins the same: They thank him for his honorable service to the people
of Kunar.
Despite
those endorsements, the Pentagon says that Wakil is among 74 former
Guantanamo Bay detainees who've returned to or are suspected of
returning to terrorism after their release from the island prison camp.
