You would expect someone who has gone through that ordeal to repudiate the ideology that led to it, but no, he clings to the notion it is just the Haqqani that are "stupid", and the Americans the enemy. The Taliban are "the good guys" they went to help as pious  Muslims (clearly they are: "God, pilgrims, sacrilege", the beard and headscarf even when released...).

No wonder they were scared of being in American custody.
