A closer look at the five Taliban members freed by the U.S. last week indicates that not all were hard-core militants. Three held political positions in the Taliban government that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and were considered relative moderates. A fourth was a mid-level police official, experts say. The fifth, however, was chief of staff of the Taliban army and is accused of commanding forces that massacred hundreds of civilians.
