美國軍方的官方數據顯示，在2010年下半年超過4,000名被美軍在阿富汗俘獲的嫌疑“塔利班“份子，幾乎90%是平民及會在日內被釋放。
Official US military data shows that almost 90 percent of the over 4,000 suspected “Taliban” captured by US forces in Afghanistan in the second half of 2010 were civilians who were released within days.
In December 2010, commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan General David Petraeus claimed in an interview that a total of 4,100 Taliban rank and file had been captured and 2,000 others had been killed in the space of six months.
在2010年12月，美國和北約部隊在阿富汗的指揮官彼得雷烏斯將軍，在接受採訪時聲稱共4,100名塔利班官兵已被俘獲，及2,000名其他人在六個月的空間被殺害。
The claim followed another set of misleading figures that had been released three months earlier and which said US Special Operations Forces had captured 1,355 rank and file Taliban militants, killed 1,031, while having killed or captured 365 middle or high-ranking Taliban members through May and July of the same year.
聲稱緊接另一組在三個月前被發放的誤導數字，說美國特種作戰部隊已俘獲1,355名官兵級塔利班武裝分子，打死1,031名，同時有365名中高級塔利班成員在同年五至七月死亡或被俘。
The figures were apparently released for media publicity and intended to restore US reputation over its losses in Afghanistan, IPS reported.
這些數字顯然是對媒體發布作宣傳和旨在對美國在阿富汗的損失恢復聲譽，新聞通訊社報導。
However, unclassified graphs by Task Force 435 -- the military command responsible for detainee affairs -- on Bagram airbase's monthly intake and release totals for 2010, shows that only 270 detainees were admitted to that facility during the 90-day period from May through July 2010.
The report indicates that even more detainees were released from the US detention facility at Bagram airbase, also known as the Detention Facility in Parwan, after their files were reviewed by a panel of military officers.
Although verification of the number of Taliban deaths claimed by the US is impossible, the number of detainees can be monitored, as detainees can only be held in a Forward Operating Base for 14 days before being released or sent to long-term detention.
The death toll of the US-led forces in 2010 stood at 711, making the year the deadliest on record for foreign forces in Afghanistan since 2001.
NATO has admitted that the power of militants in Afghanistan is on the rise despite the presence of nearly 150,000 US-led forces in the war-ravaged country.
