It's a war for hearts and minds, you twits, as much as a war of eradication.
It's better to let them escape, and gain a propaganda coup, than to continue to convince the afghanis that we are the infidel invaders that the taliban say we are.
Haven't you "warriors" studied anything about anti-insurgency tactics? It's all about gaining the support and trust of the locals.
I'll bet you don't even know we've stopped poppy eradication, because all it was doing was driving the population back into the protection of the taliban.
