Is it possible there is some acrimony between the Taliban and the Haqqani group with Boyle and Coleman as a bargaining chip. Why would the Haqqani group murder one of his previously unknown children that was not linked to a ransom demand made to America or Canada. Reading between the lines a possible link to the Taliban and his presence in Afghanistan would cause the CIA to be very interested in him he would have been interrogated for months. There was no way Boyle wanted to transit via Bagram. The safety of Canada was the smart choice. He will never step foot in America again. In view of the Omar Khadr debacle the Canadian government and CSIS will treat him like royalty. A ten minute interview by CSIS in the presence of a lawyer followed by a walk out the door will be the end of it. As another poster indicated there is much more to this story than the Canadian public will ever know.
