200 Taliban End Hunger Strike

Around 200 taliban have ended a week long hunger strike when the Afghan government agreed to review their cases. What I don't understand is why they even have cases. These guys were caught shooting at US, and NATO troops, so therefore they should be locked up for the remainder of the war.
We have grown soft since WWII.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — More than 200 Taliban suspects ended a weeklong hunger strike at a prison in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar after a parliamentary delegation promised their cases would be reviewed, a lawmaker said Monday.

Lawmaker Habibullah Jan said the three-member delegation received written demands from the prisoners and would pass them on to President Hamid Karzai's government in Kabul.

"New judges will review their cases," Jan said after coming out of the prison. "Those who are innocent will be released."

The inmates had been captured by Afghan, NATO and U.S.-led forces, who are battling a fierce Taliban-led insurgency in the south, Jan said.

The Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission said Sunday that the prisoners had complained that foreign troops searched their homes on the basis of faulty intelligence and that they were tortured and humiliated during investigations.

Prisoners are asking for fair and independent trials as well as the presence of defense lawyers during the investigations and hearings, the commission said.
