CNN Interview With Caraballo done under threat of death

Caraballo is seen here on the right with Bennett (middle) and Idema (left), leaning to one side because he’d been the victim of falaqua during their stay at Saderat after their arrest in July of 2004. In a subsequent trial de novo, these men were declared innocent of the charges, their accusers were the Taliban…yet…they are still being held at Pulacharke. After being declared innocent, why are they still there? Under the circumstances of the recent Al Qaeda revolt, riot, and shootings and rapes, why are they still there? It simply doesn’t make any sense.
Caraballo was forced by his hostage takers to “be our voice to the western media.” They wanted him to stop further government responses to the crisis. He said MOJ troops were shooting at them, and that he was pleading for the authorities not to storm the prison block because they should negotiate. CNN allowed the terrorists to use a hostage to put out a false report under threat of death. First the US Embassy stops his rescue, then CNN gives a voice to terrorists that has only made the situation worse for everyone. Did they possibly think that Caraballo was acting of his own free will? Are you really that naive Anderson Cooper? Did you not catch the Muslim line he said? Do you think he was like alone, in his room, kicking back, calm, cool, collected? You just made him the most valuable hostage at Pulacharke because now they know he really can talk to the “western media.” Ok, lets see what happens next. We know terrorists.
AND HERE IS SOMETHING ELSE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS- SO WE LISTED PHONE #s- Investigative Journalism 101: 4pm Tuesday, the Karzai Palace spokesman stated
“Yes, we acknowledge that the American journalist, Mr. Ed, is a hostage in Block 1.”
FIVE MINUTES LATER, the Deputy Minister of Justice, (Mr. Hashimzai- ph: 011-93-70276611) officially stated
“Caraballo is not in Block 1, he is safe. No American is at risk.”
TWO MINUTES AFTER THAT, the President’s spokesman (Khalid Zakmad- ph: 011-93-799909429) states,
“Everyone already knows, we are not going to deny it, Mr. Ed is still held hostage.”
ONE MINUTE AFTER that, the Deputy Minister says by phone,
“I am in Pulacharke, it is a lie, the President is lying. Caraballo is safe with me, he is not a hostage.”
The next call was to the Prison commander,
“Yes, it is unfortunate, Mr. Ed is a hostage, but we believe he is safe and we hope he will be released soon. We are trying to negotiate the situation. We were successful in having some old women released just now. God bless you, everything will be fine, God willing.”
A last call was made to the US Consul in Kabul, Ms. Harchick (ph: 011-93-70201908),
“Mr. Caraballo is fine, they are all fine, they are the ones that really started this riot, it is all their doing. These people [Ed] are criminals, just look at all the people who have been killed because they cannot accept their sentence.”
That may be right, because they were declared innocent in a second trial. There is absolutely no reason they should be in there in the first place. Hey lady, what in God’s name are you smoking? So, with all those conflicting stories, is there ANY WONDER why journalists can’t get it right? News Flash, MSM ! Governments lie. Caraballo is a hostage.
