Full title: Two Marines out of FOB Sharp talk to the child of a Taliban suspect. The intelligence sergeant asked the child if his father went by any aliases. The interpreter, a native Pashtun speaker who was raised in California, didn't translate and replied 'I think he just knows him as dad.' The child started crying and they let him go. The sergeant later claimed that the tears were manufactured.
