The Afghanistan debacle continues, but at least there's SOME good news!

  • The Taliban has released two American prisoners held hostage in Afghanistan, according to officials and confirmed by CNN.
  • State Department Spokesman Ned Price described the release as a “goodwill” gesture from the Taliban.
  • Officials are withholding the names of those released, but sources tell CNN one is filmmaker Ivor Shearer, who was arrested in August while filming in Kabul near the site of a drone strike that killed an al Qaeda leader.
