It's who you know that matters.

Weeks of working sources, days of planning and waiting, hours of driving across roadless Afghanistan - that's what went into the raid. A raid that turned up nothing, anyway, until a suspicious-looking man walked in from the desert.
The soldiers snatched him up, and he turned out to be Abdul Wadud. The captain commanding the Fort Bragg-based Special Forces team talked to the provincial governor, Jan Mohammad Khan, who said Wadud was definitely a Taliban leader.
His capture made the work of the raid worthwhile.
But now the Green Berets are being told to let him go.
The word the team gets is that Afghan President Hamid Karzai's brother has called the American ambassador in Kabul to complain about Wadud's capture. The embassy called Lt. Gen. David Barno, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, who called the Special Forces task force.
Meanwhile, back at the team's firebase, the Afghan admits that he is a former Taliban brigade commander. The soldiers say he tells them that he scouts compounds for Taliban commanders to use as safe houses.
