Next No. 2 for Taliban could be former Guantánamo detainee released by Bush

Via Newsweek:

The capture last week of Mullah Baradar Akhund, the Taliban's No. 2 leader, is expected to spark a leadership reshuffle within the organization's Afghan branch. One jihadist who could step up to take Baradar's place: Mullah Abdul Qayam Zakir, a ruthless former Guantánamo detainee released back to Afghanistan by the Bush administration.
Okay, now imagine the uproar if the last two words of that paragraph were "Obama administration."
