The Rationale for Detention in Afghanistan

There was a brief clip on CBC which showed how slight the rationale for detention can be in Afghanistan. It showed a man in typical Afghan attire who had just been searched by a Canadaian soldier. He seemed very bent over and submissive. They had found a wad of cash in his wallet. He said he had just been paid for his crop. The commentator said since the soldier did not know whether what he said was true, he handed him over to the Afghans. Just one example of a terrible Taliban - no aggression, no weapons, just lots of cash. Chances of him making it home with his cash? Chances of him making it home?
