#1 Justice Kennedy to be outraged in 9, 8, 7....oh, wait. This is the Taliban. Never mind. Who needs the real Geneva Convention when you can make one up yourself.

#3 Tap ... tap. Nope, not even a wiggle out of the old Surprise Meter.

It pains me to say that our troops must learn to shoot through any civilian human shields these vermin come up with. It will discourage all further use of such cowardly tactics and serve further notice to the Afghans of just how lethal it is to have the Taliban come anywhere near them.

#4 Another question: Why isn't anyone capturing some footage of this taking place? This is vital propaganda material to humiliate and properly demonize these Islamic pukes. A surveillance drone could easily snap some rather detailed shots of such villainy.
