Yes, Tom it is.


Seif el-Islam Gadhafi, chairman of the Gadhafi Foundation for Charitable Organizations, told The Associated Press that his nongovernmental organization has been in touch with the Taliban for about two months in efforts to win their freedom.



``I believe that the Taliban will release these people in the near future,'' he said in a statement to the AP made through Libya's consulate in Vienna.



This statement is in both stories I read about the rescue (msnbc, reuters). I think Ghadafi's son can go fly a kite in South Afghanistan. It was military forces that rescued those people not the Ghadafi Foundation. Why this is even mentioned in the article is beyond stupidity to me. The Taliban didn't release them, they were rescued.
