| 2010-08-10 |
| [News24.com] The Taliban publicly flogged and then executed a pregnant Afghan widow by emptying three shots into her head for alleged adultery, police said on Monday. Bibi Sanubar, 35, was kept in captivity for three days before she was shot dead in a public trial on Sunday by a local Taliban commander in the Qadis district of the rural western province Badghis. The Taliban accused Sanubar of having an "illicit affair" that left her pregnant. She was first punished with 200 lashes in public before being shot, deputy provincial police chief Ghulam Mohammad Sayeedi told AFP. |

| #3 I recall the Taliban blew up the Buddhist statues after they had been standing for centuries. The Taliban were complicit in 9/11. Recently, they shot up the medical mission. I don't really think this war is going to end unless we pull out or go primitive on them. Winning the hearts and minds of these people is very questionable. During WWII the Japanese were fanatics. They said they would not surrender and they had no respect for anyone who did surrender. We got the message and basically decided to turn loose our forces. We burned them in the caves where they holed up. We took no prisoners. The choices are: Go primitive on them. Blow the $hit out of them and bring an end to this $hit. Otherwise we will pi$$ away our men and women and resources and this will go on for a hundred years. If we don't have any leaders with the stomach for this we should get someone. |

| #2 Until we go totally Mongol on these people, they will continue to follow the teachings of the "strong horse", even if it's the murderous, terrorizing Taliban. Bombing the entire Northwest Frontier Provinces back before the stone age would be a great first step. Whacking Karzai and putting someone other than a Pashtun in charge would be another. |
