KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An American jailed in Afghanistan on charges of torturing terrorists in a makeshift jail was freed Sunday two months before his two-year sentence ended and whisked out of the country under heavy U.S. security.

Caraballo maintains the American government authorized the jail, which was run by a former U.S. soldier, Jonathan "Jack" Idema, and another man, Brent Bennett. U.S. authorities have repeatedly denied the claims and said the prison was part of an unauthorized hunt for terrorists.

Jack Idema : former S.F., who was fired from a few S.F. teams for being trouble and over the top—left S.F. after failed team tours.  Idema, man of many defunct business ventures since his days in S.F., is a con man who put American S.F. troops in Afghanistan in direct danger in his quest for fame and a good story.

He is a whack-job who was running his own concentration camp.

  He is a liar.
