I saw that on Yahoo, but didn't post it. I hope it's not true, but if it is. God give him & his family strength.

Saw the same thing on armytimes.com

"The purported spokesman, Mullah Latif Hakimi, said previously that the Taliban are holding the commando, who has been missing in Afghanistan for 10 days. Hakimi frequently contacts news agencies claiming to speak for the rebels, but his information in the past has proven exaggerated or untrue, and his exact tie to the Taliban leadership cannot be independently verified."

I think the above comments sum it up nicely.

Until I see a picture (or the US verifies it), I don't believe a word of it.

They have been claiming this for a few days now. BUT, have yet to provide any proof of life.

I call BS

We're not going to speculate or hypothesize on an ongoing operation.
