The Great Escape in the Shitty Little War

No motorcycles for the Taliban or even desperate measures to hide the dirt. No, the Taliban just dug a tunnel from outside the prison into the wing holding all their buddies and let them out one night while the guards were asleep.
The Taliban staged an audacious prison break here early Monday, freeing at least 476 political prisoners through a long tunnel, according to the warden, Gen. Ghulam Dastagir Mayar.

He said that security authorities had discovered in the morning that the prisoners from the political wing of the building were gone, and that the authorities had just found the tunnel...

It was the second major prison break at the Sarposa prison, the largest and most substantial prison in southern Afghanistan. The prison houses Taliban who were captured in Zabul, Oruzgan and Kandahar, including some senior Taliban figures as well as many lower level Taliban, according to security officers working with the prison.
What a waste of time and people and money this shitty little war is.
