Recipes From the Men of Task Force Saber/7:

Notice the two kilos of plastic explosives that were hidden in Terrorist Serajan's pillow- The explosives were to be used to blow up gas trucks at Bagram Airbase and kill American soldiers.  Serajan is also seen being flex-cuffed by Jack and Brent in the graphic to the right:

SuperPats -

Veritas et Libertas-
Truth is Liberty.
Hard jobs, hard assignments, and sometimes hard luck.  But when the truth is finally told, the world will know that these men were the type you don't find anymore; committed to the liberty of America, the defeat of terrorists, for God,
and Country...
no holds barred.

How You Can Help:

Warren Zevon sang about lawyers, guns, and money.  Jack doesn't need money, nor does he want it, but he says he sure could use more guns and a lot more lawyers.  To find out more about that, just visit his Counsel page:

Actually, Jack isn't asking anyone for a dime.  He never has.  Contrary to the false accusations and libelous comments on blogger sites, and in numerous articles (take a look at the SuperPatriots' webpage about Lying Journalists and Lying Sources), neither Jack, or any member of TASK FORCE SABER / 7 has ever taken a donation or a single dime from anyone.

"Jack, why did you blow up the building?"

"Because you made a phone call."

Zorro's favorite American film quote, slightly modified.

Lt. "Zorro" Rasuli Banderas is from Mazar-i-Shariff in the Northern most part of Afghanistan.  His entire family has fought the Soviets, then the Taliban, the Wanted Terrorist Gulbideen Hekmatyar, and Osama bin Laden.  For more than 25 years Zorro's family has supported the freedom of Afghanistan with their blood, and their lives.  His father died before the 2001 war began, his uncle is Afghan CIA, his brother works for the UN, and another cousin operates secretly for foreign Special Forces.

During the 2001 war, Zorro was assigned to French Military Special Operations and the French DGIN (Directorate General of Intelligence- French CIA).  Another cousin worked with American Special Forces in Khoja-Bahaudeen, specifically TIGER 03, the U.S. Army Special Forces A-Team led by the most famous Green Beret of the War, Master Sergeant John Bolduc.  TIGER 03 destroyed more Taliban and al-Qaida forces than any other unit in the entire war.  They did it faster, and better than any SF team had ever done before, and with only 12 guys fighting a battle on 140 miles of battlefront lines, TIGER 03 and MSG John Bolduc were credited with inflicting greater casualties on an enemy force than any SF team had done before in the 50 years of Green Beret history.

After the war in the north ended, Zorro went back to work for Lieutenant General Atta Mohammed, the 7th Corps Commander of the United Front Military Forces (Northern Alliance), who became the Corps Commander for Mazar and four other provinces upon the creation of the Afghan Ministry of Defense.  Zorro has followed the way of Massoud since he was a young boy, often visiting Massoud's grave and remaining loyal to the battle against terror, in his country, and the world.

Some Background Information about the SuperPatriots and Lieutenant Zorro Rasuli Banderas:

Prisoner Of War status has become a hot issue in the War On Terror. The legal grounds to deny POW and Geneva Convention status to al-Qaida, Iraqi, and Taliban terrorists is simple-- they don't meet the requirements of Rule 4 of the Geneva Convention for Combatant Prisoners.  Few terrorists do.  To see these rules, follow this footnote: READ RULE 4.

Terrorists don't wear uniforms, have ID Cards, carry their weapons openly, wear unit patches (what would it say? AQ Killer Group with twin burning towers as a logo?), nor do they follow any of the other guidelines required by Rule 4, except that they might be subordinate to a commander (like bin Laden, Hekmatyar, Mullah Omar, etc).   But being subordinate to a madman does give rise to GC protections, you must follow all of the requirements of Rule 4.

Some people say that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.  Cute saying, but not legally correct.  Freedom fighters and guerillas, historically, wear uniforms- no matter how ragged or mismatched, they carry their arms openly, rarely target civilian women and children, have military ranks and often have Identity Cards.  One of the best examples includes Commander Massoud's Northern Alliance 1996-2004.

The Geneva Convention Books about the laws and rules that certain bloggers say do not exist.

The press have called TASK FORCE SABER / 7 personnel "mercenaries."  One headline from the NY Times (ala Jason Blair hype) is in some of our banners saying "Mercenaries in Afghan Case Get 8 to 10 years."  It is clear that these men are not, nor ever were mercenaries. See: GC Protocols Article 47.  The TF SABER / 7 Geneva Convention Legal Brief/Letter clearly forecloses any argument to even consider they are or were "mercenaries." 

It is undisputable that all seven of the defendants had Geneva Convention POW status.  POW status is established by simply asserting the status upon capture or arrest in a conflict area.  At that point you have POW status.[1]  Status continues until such time as a Geneva Military Tribunal meets and either awards permanent status, or rejects status.  But, and this is an important but, from the moment of assertion, a person "in custody" or "confinement" has automatic status the moment they assert that status, either verbally or in writing.[2]  TASK FORCE SABER / 7 personnel did that very quickly, and followed it up in writing.

Within 24 hours they asserted their POW Status, and 60 days later filed a complete legal grounds brief with the Central Information Bureaux in Switzerland, and copied the Red Cross- the guardians of the Geneva Convention.[3]

Zorro Speaks Out -

My name is Zorro Rasuli Banderas.  If someone thinks about his life so he just cares about his personal life that is one thing, but if someone think about the peoples' life it means he would care about his country's improvement, being comfortable, being safe in dangerous time— that is better. This is the way Commander Massoud was thinking.

I have remember that day, which is Commander Massoud said to the world.  Wake up world, wake up from this long sleep and do not dream more, because these terrorists are not just my enemy, they are my country's enemy, indeed they are the world's enemy and they are the humans right's enemy.  The God forgive him, he tried and repeated more but no one heard the courage in his voice, no one.  Until these terrorists destroyed even more countries and finally every one understood and found out, yeah, Commander Massoud  was right. I'm the member, who follow his way, I have dedicated my life to follow the way of Massoud because to save the world, my country, my family and so myself.  The truth never be covered.  Because one day the truth be like a mirror opposite the people's eyes and every one will know that for sure.  They will know what really happened and the true color of the terrorists and those Taliban who hide their dark heart and infiltrate back into our government.  Money, Power, Kissing ass and lies, all these would be for short time but loyalty, truth, being honest never and ever fall down and it would set inside the people's heart forever.

I have a question for the world, if someone or those people who risk their life and their family's lives, fought against the Taliban, al-Qaida, and terrorists because of freedom to this country actually because to give freedom to the whole world, but unfortunately today in this country, Afghanistan, the former of the Taliban and al-Qaida want to make a decision about the future of Northern Alliance and for future of those people who helped the Northern Alliance and stood beside the  Northern Alliance in arms against the terrorists.  The picture of me above was taken with French Special Forces in the Salang Pass in December 2001. During those times Americans and Special Forces of America fought and died with us to defeat our enemies, and the people of Afghanistan should never forget this.  But Americans should never forget that Massoud and the Northern Alliance are the only true allies of America.  Now the terrorists are returning and being put back in our government.

How is that possible? We fought for long time against these terrorists, Taliban and al-Qaida, to have freedom and to have good election but we did not know the U.S. government would use us, and then throw us away.  From one side they support, give position and power for these terrorists and from one side they tell us to fight against them.  Especially myself didn't understand what does this government want from us?  To give back our country to the terrorists to destroy it again?

I asked from several people like high rank and high position from the UN and from loyal people of this country about this question, everyone told me this is crazy, they do not understand either.  But I want to know from you people, what does your hearts says?  Please contact me through this website SuperPatriots.US or you can write me at the address below.

I'm sure every one knows, whenever the terrorists are released they will say their spin and their own stories but the people should think, how much we can trust to terrorists?  Do you think every word that come out from the terrorist's mouth, is that correct and is that right?  What ever the terrorist says is true?  They live their life on lies, this is how they build terror.  Should you believe what they say, anything?  I don't think so, if anyone who trusts to the terrorists, I can promise him that would be awful for his future life, because for long time I have seen the terrorists, and what they do.  The terrorists are against the democracy, against freedom and against humans rights.  But just one way can help us to be safe, that's the men should stand as men and women also should stand as men to fight against the terrorists until we all have a good freedom and good future for new generations.

Actually, Jack took me with him for just one month from General Atta, but I don't know why he trust his life, his power, and everything on me, but I can say one thing; after the death of our leader Commander Massoud he will now be my commander on the rest of my life, and in any place I'm waiting for his orders.  It takes someone like Jack to be loyal and honest, to be my commander, because I am for serving the people and one thing I request from you good people, please after you read this article just see the movie of Zorro and everything will be easy to understand, because when the pupil is ready, the master will appear, and when I lost Commander Massoud I lost my teacher.

Thanks very much to all, who read this website and keep the words in their mind.

Zorro, Lieutenant,
Ministry of Defense

نام من زرو رسولی بندرس حاپکینس میباشد. اگر کسی درباره زنده گی خود فکر میکند او تنها توجه درزنده گی شخصی خود داشته واگرکسی درباره زنده گی مردم فکر میکند او درباره ترقی کشور خود، احساس راحت بودن، وآرام بودن از خطرات میباشد. همان قسمیکه شهید احمد شاه مسعود فکر میکرد، من بیاد دارم که یک روز شهید احمد شاه مسعود به جهان فرمود که ایجهان ازخواب بیدارشوید بیدارشوید ازاین خواب طولانی بیشتر خواب نبینید، بخاطرکه تروریست ها تنها دشمن من نمی باشد بلکه دشمن کشورمن بوده، دشمن جهان بوده و دشمن حقوق بشر میباشد. خداوند(ج)ایشان راببخشد اوبسیار کوشید وتکرار نمود به جهان هیچ کسی سخن وی را نشنید تازمانیکه تروریستان تمام کشور های جهان را برباد ساخت ومردم در آخیر فهمیدن که مسعود شهید درست میگفته است. من یک عضو میباشم، کسیکه تعقیبگر راه مسعود شهید است. بخاطر که تا جهان را توانسطه باشم نجات بدهم، کشور خودرا نجات بدهم، فامیل خود را نجات بد هم وهمچنان خود رانجات بدهم. حقیقت ها سختی وراحتی دارد وهیچ وقت راستی خود را گم ننموده وپوشیده نمیباشد چراکه راستی یک روز مانند آینه درمقابل چشمان مردم قرار خواهد گرفت. وهمگی یکروز حقیقت را خواهد فهمید. پول، قدرت، چاپلوسی ودروغ بسیار وقت کم را خواهد دربرگرفت. مگرراستی، حقیقت، صداقت هرگز خودرا ازدست نخواهد دادو درقلب مردم خواهد نشست. من یک سوال از جهان دارم که آن اشخاص که جان خودرا وجان هان فامیل هان خود را در خطر انداخته تا بخاطر آزادی این کشور در حقیقت بخاطر آزادی جهان جنگ نموده است، مگر بد بختانه امروز دراین کشور (افغانستان) کسانیکه با طالبان دست دارند القاعده وتروریست دست دارند درباره آینده جبعه متحد وکسانیکه به جبعه متحد کمک نموده ومانند بازو به ایشان بوده است فیصله میخواهند بکنند. آیا این امکان دارد مابمدت های زیاد جنگیدیم درمقابل القاعده وترورستان وطالبان بخاطر آزادی این کشور، بخاطر یک انتخابات خوبی داشته باشیم مگر نفهمیده بودیم که دولت ما را  استفاده میکند. ازیک طرف قدرت، جای ومقام میدهد به تروریستان وازدیگر طرف بمامیگوید که درمقابل ایشان جنگ کنید. مخصوصاً خودم (زرو بندریس) نفهمیدم که دولت ازما چی میخواهد من ازخیلی اشخاص پرسیدم مقامات رسمی ملل متحد وبامقامات رسمی این کشور که آدام های صادق میباشند گفتند که این کاردولت دیوانگی است مگر من میخواهم ازشما مردم جهان بپرسم که قلب شما چی میگوید لطفاً به ویبسایت ما در تماس شوید سوپر پتریتس نقطه یو اس.   SuperPatriots.US

من متمین هستم که هرکس این رامیداند که هر وقت تروریست آزاد شود قصه های مختلف مینماید مگر مردم باید فکر کند که ما چقدر میتوانیم به تروریستها اعتماد داشته باشیم. هرگپ لغات که ازدهن شان بیرون میاید آیادرست است؟ هرچی که میگویند. من آنطور فکر نمیکنم اگرهرکی باشد به اشیان اعتماد داشته باشد زنده گی خراب خواهد داشت. بخاطر که من خیلی وقت که درجریان هستم، وایشان درمقابل دمکراسی، آزادی وحقوق بشر میباشد مگر یگانه راه نجات این است که مردها مانند مردها وزنها مانند مردها مبارزه نمایند. ویک آزادی خوب وآینده خوب به نسل آینده تقدیم نمایم درحقیقت جک من را برای یک ماه گرفته بود، مگر من نمیدانم که چرا زنده گی خودرا وقدرت خودرا ودیگر چیزهارا بالای من اعتبار نموده، مگر یک چیزی را من برای شما گفته میتوانم که بعد از شهادت مسعود شهید جک یگانه قومندانم میباشد، درتمام زنده گیم ومن درهر جای که باشم منتظر امراومیباشم. واگر هرکس مانند جک راستکار وصداقت باشد قومندان من بوده میتواند. بخاطرکه من درخدمت مردم میباشم. ویک خواهش من ازشما مردم خوب دارم که بعداز خواندن این لطفاً فلم

For the Record:

Inside the File- the proof of POW Status

The Court's file contains irrefutable evidence that the men of TASK FORCE SABER/7 are POWs under the Geneva Conventions and accompanying protocols. However, the men have not been allowed to see the file, or to use it in their defense.  The file that Judge Bakhtyari concealed from everyone, except journalists that paid him under the table, contained pictures of TF SABER/7 in military uniforms, operating with international military forces, in meetings with top government officials, pictures of their vehicles- with Ministry of Defence license plates,[4] Lt. Zorro's and Major Amin's Afghan military ID Cards, Afghan military visas, and authorization documents from Commander Massoud's top-level Northern Alliance commanders. The Americans' US ID cards, US Passports, GC ID cards, and military authorization documents were immediately removed from evidence by the FBI and have never been seen again.  Why?  Because of Abu Ghraib.  The US government was still reeling from the Abu Ghraib pictures in July 2004, and were not about to be dragged into another abuse scandal.  The Americans and Afghans fighting the terrorists, were convicted by a Taliban Judge and a Taliban Prosecutor before the first day of trial ever began.  In fact, no witnesses ever testified against the defendants, nor was the defense allowed to call witnesses.[5]

All Afghan Combatants, including those that escaped and were not captured, were serving officers, commissioned ranks, in the United Front Military Forces (a.k.a. Northern Alliance) and the Afghan Ministry of Defence (previously the Northern Alliance.)

Most recently, on February 7th, 2005, the Afghan Court of Appeals, over great objections by BOTH governments (US & Karzai) cleared the men of ALL torture charges in a secret hearing where secret undercover video and audio evidence was played for the court. 

Photo of the Motion and Jack showing a top National Security Advisor giving mission approval to Jack, Zorro, and Task Force Saber/7 on video.  The tape disappeared from evidence the very next day.

The Geneva Convention is very clear on this issue.  Section III Article 72 specifically outlines and mandates the "Right of Defence"  ß II, which states "Accused person shall, unless they freely waive such assistance, be aided by an interpreter, both during preliminary investigation and during the hearing in court.  They shall have the right at any time to object to the interpreter and to ask for his replacement.

Taliban Judge Abdul Baset Bakhtyari repeatedly violated this rule over and over, in full view of the press and even laughed about it on numerous occasions, yet not one journalist reported this-- a few journalists reported that sometimes "there were 'problems' with the translation."

Zorro was NOT allowed to translate for Jack during the trial.  In fact, when Zorro told Jack that the translator was incorrectly repeating Jack's words to the court and saying things the prosecution never said, Zorro was threatened by NDS officials, and later by the FBI.  Later that day, when the group returned to SADERAT, the NDS Prison, Amrullah and the FBI had Zorro thrown in wrist and leg chains for thirty days, where he remained 24/7.

Dear Commissioner of the Central Information Bureaux

For the Geneva Convention of 1949 on Prisoners Of War;
The following individuals and persons;

1. Jack K. Idema, American
   Commander, Task Force Saber/7

2. Brent Bennett, American
   Exec. Officer, Task Force Saber/7

3. Edward Caraballo, American
   War Correspondent,
   Accompanying TF Saber/7

4. Ezmerai Amin, Afghan
   Major, Task Force Saber/7 –

5. Wahid Rasuli Banderas, Afghan
   Lt., Task Force Saber/7 –

6. Sahail Sahibi, Afghan
   Administrative Non-Combatant –

7. Sherzai Ahmadi, Afghan
   Facilities Worker Non-Combatant –

Hereby request immediate Prisoner Of War status under the applicable Geneva Conventions for Protected persons relative to:  A) Combatants, B) War Correspondents, and C) Civilian Non-Combatants in time of war.

Specifically:

IDEMA, BENNETT, RASULI BANDERAS, EZMERAI, each claim POW status as combatant prisoners of war under the following circumstances and criteria;

1. Each were employed by the U.S. Counter-Terrorist Group;

2. Each carried their arms openly;

3. Each was responsible and subordinate to a commander.

4. The unit designation was Task Force 7, later changed to Task Force Saber/7, the unit, under the original name of Task Force Saber operated in Afghanistan against Taliban and al-Qaida forces since the start of hostilities in October 2001, and was from the start of the war until present time, subordinate to both, a commander in the United States and/or to the corps commanders of the United Front Military Forces in Afghanistan.

5. Each man wore a distinctive uniform and recognizable insignia;

   1. An American Defense Logistics Agency issue uniform;

Note: See Articles 13(2), 13(3), 13(4) of the Geneva Convention entered into force 21 October 1950.  The Combatant version is not available, but states similar or the same criteria.  [US Embassy Consul Sandra Ingram refused to provide copies of the Convention to the prisoners in direct violation of International Law.]

Excerpt- Paragraph #1 from the Geneva POW Status Request From the Original TF SABER/7 Letter:

The judge presiding over the various trials conducted announced during his final verdict that we were all part of or working for the “resistance forces.”  [It was later disclosed that this Judge was a Member of the Taliban].  Apparently, some parts of the government, have now categorized Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud’s United Military Forces (the Northern Alliance Mujahadeen) as illegal and/or unrecognized, and in opposition to the Interim Government, in spite of the fact that they were U.S. allies during the 2001–2004 war.[6]  The Court has also ignored the fact that Commander Massoud’s Northern Alliance were part of the 2001 Bonn Conference (which recognized them as the legitimate government in exile) and were made part of the Interim Government in 2001, which would not change until December 2004.

Readers Note: How does a Taliban Judge end up presiding over the trial of Anti-Taliban Forces, specifically American citizens and Northern Alliance military officers?

A.  Prisoners of war, in the sense of the present Convention, are persons belonging to one of the following categories, who have fallen into the power of the enemy:

1. Members of the armed forces of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces.
2. Members [This and #1 apply to Jack, Bennett, and the other Americans not originally captured/arrested by Karzai's Pro-Taliban government] of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belong to a Party to the conflict and operation in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movement fulfill the following conditions:
   1. that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
   2. that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;
   3. that of carrying arms openly;
   4. that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.
3. Members of regular armed forces who profess allegiance to a government or an authority not recognized by the detaining power [Major Amin, Lt. Banderas- UFMF] [Northern Alliance].
4. Persons who accompany the armed forces without actually being members thereof, such as civilian members of military aircraft crews, war correspondents [Caraballo], supply contractors... [ ] provided that they  have received authorization from the armed forces which they accompany, who shall provide them for that purpose with an identity card similar to the annexed model.
5. [Refers to Aircrews]
6. [Refers to inhabitants, who upon invasion, take up arms]
