Plausible Deniability

Something tells me that this would make a great movie:

Three Americans have been sentenced to up to 10 years in jail after being found guilty by an Afghan court on charges including torture, running a private prison and illegal detention.

Jonathan "Jack" Idema, a former U.S. Green Beret, was arrested in July along with another ex-serviceman, Brent Bennett, and documentary film-maker Edward Caraballo.

Idema told the court earlier that he had been issued with a passport by a special U.S. agency that he declined to name and had a visa for Afghanistan similar to those given to special forces operatives.


As Chumley mentioned earlier, Idema also claimed to have links with the Northern Alliance. At this point in time, we can neither confirm nor deny that claim.
