Afghan Government risks US fury over 'Taliban' prisoner releases

BBC News - Afghan risks US fury over 'Taliban' prisoner releases: "The US is strongly opposed to the releases because it says the prisoners have been involved in the wounding or killing of US and Nato troops.
Hundreds of prisoners from Bagram jail have been freed since Kabul took over the running of the prison in March 2013.
The Afghan government says that there is no evidence against 45 out of 88 prisoners, while the evidence against a further 27 detainees is not enough to put them on trial."
